It took nine years first time I saw your face
I didn’t shed a tear filled with rage
Filled with fear of feeling again
If it wasn’t for my child I wouldn’t have made it through
Sitting on top of the world feeling so alone building a wall
against myself and you
You tried to leave without saying goodbye
You thought you were protecting me
It only killed my insides
Numb to any love trying to come my way
I kept pushing until I pushed them all away
Swinging for life like a bolder
Once I caught my breath it felt like I was laying in a bed of roses
