Here for You

My broken heart will never heal

So don’t bother asking how I feel

I’d have to lie and use that tired line

Saying, “I’m fine. Just doing fine.”

Received awful news and felt  I'd drowned

Since then, I’m just a walking wound

Can’t forget that fateful stab

When it begins to heal, I pick that scab

In a time and place if I shed a tear

It’s not about what it may appear

For if I ever break and cry

It’s because I can’t help, even if I try

This sadness always gripping me

Is because you hurt physically, emotionally

Wish I could absorb all your pain

I’d do it then and again and yet again

Every time you bruise, I feel a sting

Wish I could give you everything

But my hands are tied, only God can act

And my heart has broken with that fact

And every time you hurt, I bleed

Wish I could give you all you need

Wisdom, heart, my very life

That I can’t, cuts like a jagged knife

When young, you laughed and played

Wish those days had always stayed

Now you are gone and grown

You handle tribulations on your own

You’ve conquered all your challenges

Ignoring all the damages

You’ve risen fast and risen far

And I’m so proud of where you are

My love for you is bright, pure and true

And I will always be here for you

My love for you is bright, pure and true

And I will always be here for you

Won't beComing Home

 I no longer give a damn

That you don’t accept me as I am

My explanations are just wasted time

You still accuse me of a crime

So I won’t be coming home again

No matter how many times you call my name

Things can never be the same

And you only have yourself to blame

How could you ask me to give up

Things that I both need and love?

Just because they aren’t important to

You and others who agree with you

This should be just between you and me

And I’ve been through enough therapy

To recognize the guilt trip you are laying on

And know that you are in the wrong

So I won’t be coming home again

No matter how many times you call my name

Things can never be the same

And you only have yourself to blame

I finally recognize

That I’ll always be the villain in your eyes

And I’m sick of being cast in that vein

So I won’t be coming home again

I no longer give a damn

That you don’t accept me as I am

And I won’t be coming home again

No matter how many times you call my name
