As night turned to day, wishing all this hurt would fall away,
And as the rope swings a new day breaks.
Carried by the breeze, that makes my limbs bend to need,
A longing solace I can no longer have.
I can't believe it's taken me this long, to understand that,
All your tough words and tough love was only to make me believe in myself.
And I wish you could know, I'm doing better than we once thought.
Its taken time to mend, all those wounds that never seemed to end.
With shadows so deep, it's your hope I'll keep.
And I like to think that you got that letter I left in your hand,
That I'm no longer scared to walk these walls alone.
With a single beam of light you disappeared into the night,
Leaving me all alone to watch myself turn to stone.
With a single beam of light you disappeared into the night,
Leaving me all alone to watch myself turn to stone.
I can't believe it's taken me this long, to understand that,
All your tough words and tough love was only to make me believe in myself.
And I wish you could know, I'm doing better than we once thought.
And now you're gone.
I still feel your last breath, it fills my lungs.
