Letting Go

Sometimes the pain is all I have

To remind me that I’m alive.

I burn my father’s eyes

As the sun burns mine;

And I burn alive.

I’m the bane of his existence. I inherited this curse.

I got left behind, might as well be buried alive.

Might as well be burned alive.

I’m no good at letting go…

I’m a bitter man with this weight to bear.

With tired eyes that long to close forever.

Growing up I always wondered what I did.

How could you forget me so easily?

I could move away but it wouldn’t solve anything

When all my demons are in my head.

They’re in my head.

I’m a bitter man with this weight to bear.

With tired eyes that long to close forever.

Growing up I always wondered what I did.

How could you forget me so easily?

I could move away but misery follows me.

All my demons are with me,

I’m my own worst enemy.

I’ve learned to live with this

Just as you have learned to live without me

Maybe some day this will pass.

For my sake I’ll believe that I’m better off without you.

So thank you.
