"Story Of Our Life"
It's been such a long time, since I knew you were gone.
You would be lost to me, I didn't know where to belong.
I decided my loyalty was stronger than loss, grief, or pain.
So I followed blindly, the choice, for me, was sane.
I wish I would have had a warning, some sense in my head.
For everything I've been put through, I honestly wish I were dead.
But still here I am, feeling guilt and shame.
Taking it upon myself, I cry out; "I'm the one to blame!"
Yet you ignore me still, ignorance is bliss, or at least some say.
Why then, if I'm so confused, to I feel I must pay?
My whole heart screams: "You betrayed me! But... why?"
Because of all your faults and mistakes, now I must die.
Maybe because I felt I needed to protect you.
Stay by, guard, comfort, and defend you.
I'm wondering now, If everything you told me was a lie.
No matter how bad it gets, I won't let you see me cry.
Even though love has seemed to slip into hate.
I swear I won't let you share my sad fate.
Even though ordeals have left me broken and undone.
I still smile 'cause I know your life has just begun.
I pray my life wasn't given up in vain.
I hope it was enough to make you see what was plain.
You were never alone, even when you thought you were. Couldn't you see?
You always had me by your side. You always had me.
