The strings you played
The symphony you made
The words you said
Are harmonizing in my ears
Those letters you wrote me are yet to fade
But when things got tough I grew terribly afraid
The last thing I heard
Was your shouting and screams
Accusing me of all that went wrong
Blaming it all on me
Devouring your alcohol and breaking the glass
And at the end of the night you'd cry out your eyes
You'd beg me to stay
And I'd try to push you away
I got used to the fights till 3 in the morning
Neighbors calling cops cause you weren't listening
"Useless" "Pathetic" "A sad excuse of a woman"
And all those names you said as if you're a trueman
Pulling me by the hair pushing me into the ground
You'd tell me I wasn't needed to be around
I was hurt broken shattered
Wondering where is the man that I once loved
Where did that man disappear to
Why didn't he take me with him if so
I realized that man was nonexistent
As he was nowhere to be found
But I stood by being persistent
I laid there lost in despair and frowned
Life rolled by and I'm standing on the sidelines
I can't imagine why I kept on ignoring all the signs
I let myself be blinded
That I was never enough to begin with
Withstanding the extreme heat of your hits
Shattering my ribs into bits
The pieces of my heart has long-left my soul
This is all my fault I've dug my own hole
Life moves too fast and my pace is too slow
I can't keep up with that rate I can't roll with the flow
It's time I leave now no more holding back
You made it clear of everything that I lack
Goodbye the once was an angel
I now shall rise into the sky like an eagle
