There's a reason for this bottled up emotion
Never had anyone who really cared
All I know is the emptiness of my own despair
The light at the end of the tunnel
Never seemed to come
The scars are etched deep in my heart
I didn't have someone to tell me that it was okay
All I had was the steady beat of a drum
The music made the pain disappear
The music has always been my escape
The music will always be my love
When I younger, I never understood my hurt
I pushed it to the corners of my mind
It took nine years for the words to sink in
He screamed I'm done and slammed the door
Walking out of my life
I didn't have someone to tell me that it was okay
All I had was the steady beat of a drum
The music made the pain disappear
The music has always been my escape
The music will always be my love
Where were you when I needed you most
Where were you when I would cry myself to sleep
You've never been there and you never will
I taught myself how to hide the pain
But it always comes creeping back
I didn't have someone to tell me that it was okay
All I had was the steady beat of a drum
The music made the pain disappear
The music has always been my escape
The music will always be my love
My one love
My one pain reliever
Will forever be
My music
