The Past Is In The Past

Because I Tried

The last time we spoke

We talked about losing hope

and I talked about permanently leaving

I couldn't stand all the screaming

my heart was moments away from exploding

I knew you were only trying to protect me

but you failed

and I bailed

I regret every waking moment

wishing I could go back in time

back with my world was frozen

back when I thought you were the only thing that could save me

but later I learned my hero was inside me all along

heartbreak and tears

was the only thing to wake it

I wish I wasn't me

I wish I didn't act like how I do

I wish I could have been the daughter you've always wanted

and needed

I tried I hope that matters

the best and worst time of my life
