about

A creepy love song, perhaps? or the straw that broke the camel's back?

lyrics

I know what you look like on the inside
I know what it takes to keep you here
But the things I had to see
And the things I had to do
Hurt me too

You were broken when you came to me,
You weren’t aware I was breaking too
And you could never know
I had the pressure on me grow
To let you go

And I don’t know why the fear inside me haunts me every night
And conscience screams in broken dreams that I might not be right

The morning you awakened
Your agony sketched sorrow in the air
The days rolled into weeks
And the weeks stretched into months
With you still there

And I recall a golden day
When free of chains you walked away
Though all could see the clouds were looming low
And turning back, so clear to view
That pain had overtaken you
Not time to go

The crimson flowers bloom in the hours that should have brought us sleep
But never peace enough to close my eyes
The veiled looks and backroom chat denied me any hope of that
And chance of laying down this burden dies

I know what it looks like from the outside
To everyone I have the perfect life
But those things I’ve had to see
And those things I’ve had to do,
Hurt others too

When I call for them, they’re always there for me,
But when they need me, I’m with you
When they ask if I’m OK?
It stirs up so much pain. So much pain!

I have to choose, leave it behind
And walk away, or lose my mind
And hope that what I’ve built was not in vain
Only I know what I faced to keep you from that ‘better place’
I hope you think that it was worth our pain?
