Stronger.


Can you help me forget 

All the times that I've wept 

Over someone who only ever caused me pain 

While I wanted his heart 

To want mine.

I think about him all the time.

 

I want someone to hold 

Keep my heart from turning cold 

Cause it's hard when someones hurt your soul 

 

I want someone to hold 

And help me forget the lies 

Cause no matter how hard I try 

I see his eyes

In my dreams 

 

And I forget 

 

I forget the fear he made me feel 

It feels surreal 

He pushed and he swore 

I've never felt so scared before.

 

Scared- of the one I supposedly love?

Of the one my heart belongs to

This can't be true 

I just need to feel something new 

Something safe 

Something that won't keep me trapped in a cage 

In a cage full of anger and rage 

Full of hate 

I am in a state 

I never thought I would be in before 

I feel pain to the core 

 

I don't want to feel anymore 

 

so

 

Can you help me forget?

The times that I'vve wept 

Over the one who keeps my heart on a chain 

 

But

 

One day 

 

That chain he will hold no longer

For I am growing stronger 

Growing bolder

I will not let this soul of gold 

Turn cold 

For I am strong 

 

but 

 

I need help.

 

So please help me forget

The times that I've wept 

And kept these tears and fears deep inside 

I don't want to hide 

Any longer.

For I am 

Stronger.
