Valediction

Hiding in the corner hoping they don’t see
The difference in the man you are and the one you wanna be
Escape into your bedroom, lock the door and draw the blinds
Surround yourself in darkness, you can’t keep up the lie
Life had lost it’s meaning
Reality came screaming through, it heavied you
Closed your eyes, «They don’t need me anymore.»
But if I had the chance I’d take your hand
Tell you that’s not true, «I needed you to make me who I am.»
You didn’t let them in, no one got too close
God forbid you’d take a risk and leave yourself exposed
Avoided happiness, too afraid to lose
You tried to walk your problems off but the blood just stained your shoes
Life had lost it’s meaning
Reality came screaming through, it heavied you
Closed your eyes, «They don’t need me anymore.»
But if I had the chance I’d take your hand
Tell you that’s not true, «I needed you to make me who I am.»
And I never got my turn to say goodbye
Your intentions were false pretenses, you made no reply
You were worth it. You were perfect. Let’s go back in time
Start all over, tell your little girl you tried
Life had lost it’s meaning
Reality came screaming through, it heavied you
Closed your eyes, «They don’t need me anymore.»
But if I had the chance I’d take your hand
Tell you that’s not true, «I needed you to make me who I am.»
