Illness takes the body,
doesn\'t have to take the heart.
(Right?)
You came home
No tears, wasn\'t fallin apart
But I\'m sorry
I was blind
You still scram at night
But out of my own freight I fled--
I didn\'t want to hear it
Didn\'t want to feel it.
I kept you away,
It was my little secret.
Maybe if I lied enough
Tumors wouldn\'t take you to your tomb.
Maybe if I prayed enough you wouldn\'t have to face
your doom.
But see- it\'s no room for a little girl\'s wishes
You battled your demons, and I had mine too.
I was defeated
Time caught up with me
It wasn\'t worth it- not admittin.
You were leavin.
I should have know
But no- I was too busy pleadin\'
I came to it
This was my apology,
Because-
I never sat beside you
Just inside of me
Selfish, yes, but you were the same.
I was here for your punches when you were mad .
And tell me daddy, when you cried, who held your
hand?
In the end you said I never gave a damn.
Listen- we thought we could surpass reality-
Went above our given duty-
Raised ourselfes high, as if we were that mighty.
We were on the same ship.
Yet you never really knew me.
Lookin in the mirror,
Whoa Who the girl lookin back at me.
I don\'t even know how you felt.
But you gone,
You went ahead.
