8 Years Of Silence
I remember that day you left without notice, abandoned your heart and your home.
So I’m singing to break these eight years of silence that I’ve learned to lead on my own.
Feeling trapped even in my own skin, are you what you dreamt of becoming?
The woman I grew up with doesn’t exist.
In her place stands a sad hypocrite.
And broken hearts aren’t sewn together with cheap, empty words.
This bridge burned such a long time ago.
No signs of burnt wood, ashes, or coals.
Had it all, had it all here but you left us and just disappeared.
I guess when you’ve lied so many times you create a false sense of the truth.
Half the blood in my veins, yes ma’am, I hate to say half of that blood it belongs to you.
If there’s one thing you can’t seem to hide it’s that sickness you feel in your soul.
I might be guilty of way too much pride.
Would you believe that I learned that from you?
The river once flowing has dried leaving nowhere for you to come home.
Had it all, had it all here but you left us and just disappeared.
