I can’t let this go
So I drive where it’s far
While my heart is beating louder
Than the rain on my car
The music diverts my thoughts
So I play it on loud
Because speaking my truth
Was never allowed
My hands start to tremble
But I hold my grip
I will fight for what’s right
And not let this slip
I give and I give
But it’s my turn to take
So no matter what happens
I’m not going to brake

I want to hate myself
For what I did to me
But I don’t know how
This was something I didn’t foresee
I blame myself
When this wasn’t my fault
But I can’t let go
Even when forgiving is my default
I want to condone myself
For all the blame I take
But I can’t help myself
When others seal my fate
I try to love myself
I try to climb my walls
But I can’t fix myself
When forgiveness is my downfall

Strangers at first
That’s where we all start
Until we meet each other
And we don’t know life apart
Disclosing becomes easier
Trust is gaining
And there are fewer things
That I’m refraining
Stories of the past
A time we never knew
Playing years of catch up
There’s so much left to do
But then something happens
We have our first fight
And we can’t conclude
Who’s wrong or right
It’s easier to move on
But that elephant’s still there
With an open wound
That we’ve left unrepaired
And we can pretend
But we can’t forget
And someone who once comforted you
Becomes something you regret
Words can’t make this better
And we can’t pretend
That someone you love
Can’t become a stranger again
