I'm overmatched, undermanned
I'm trying hard to understand
Crushed beneath and once of hope and flattened by your heavy hand
I know you're giving it your everything, you're letting me down.
You she's gone for the good of all of us
And so I should be thankful for the light that lies ahead and be it understood
That I have everything while everything is letting me down.
You say in love we tend to hide
We lose ourselves, we die inside
Devotion takes the place of self reliance
Soon will follow pride
And that is why I cannot listen to you
Grandma not now.
I never lost myself at all
I may have slipped, I didnt fall
I never hid, I didn't die, my pride's intact
I'm standing tall
I gave her everything till everything was letting her down.
I don't know if she understands,
Or ever will
But I know that we're better off,
And better still.
Ohhhh
I hear that she's laughing more,
Then she had been
So I know thather bitter heart
Is sweat again.
May it put your mind to rest
My worry lies with her investing
All she had in someone so alone
Is not the healthiest
Not that I grew, not that i thrived
Beside a woman so sour.
Oh I had more to give, I know
I guess I just assumed she'd lower
Certain expectations given life
Had flung me to and thro
And it was all that I could do to stop
From shutting right down.
I should have told her, I confess
Your bitter heart is such a mess
And every little drop of blood,
And ounce of love, a pound of stress
She never mentioned that was something
That was bringing her down.
I dont know if she understands,
Or ever will
But I know that she's better off,
And better still
Ohhhh
I hear that she's laughing more
Than she had been
So I know that her bitter heart
Is sweet again.
