In My Ancient Past

Why didn't they teach us about this at school?

No one wanted us to know

The suffering that's coming

The people that will leave us

Maybe one day I can open up to someone that will stick around an believe in me

The same way that I believe in myself

We all get through, piece by piece

Throwing the fight, an amazing feat

It must take a big man to leave his child behind

It must take some skill to go through life completely blind

Blind to the fact that you walked out on a little kid

Who needed someone around

A little kid that did his absolute best with the few things that he had

No one to look up to but himself

Knowing that he had to walk before he could crawl

But I wish I could have been there for that little boy

And I hope you find peace with the decisions that you've made

Cause I'd give up everything for the people that I love

We all get through, piece by piece

Throwing the fight, an amazing feat

I'll always remember, but I'll move on

Bury the hatchet, I'll stay strong

I'll stay strong

Do you remember the day that you left

Did you even say goodbye?

The blood you gave me is all that I've kept

This song is my final goodbye

I won't be thinking about this anymore

Finally closing that door
