Lyrics

where we left off, you were hostage
to a bad situation you’d held onto for years
your whole life up to that point
you couldn’t stop choosing damage
over safety and sanity, you didn’t want to hear
you had the right to make a new choice
you were holding yourself to impossible standards
beating yourself up each time you fell
taking it all in as part of you
looking for ways to forgive the others
trying to find the good, but never in yourself
living with the pain like it was truth
you didn’t know until you did, but now you do
didn’t know until you did, but now you do
where we left off, I was angry
at myself and anyone who ever dared get close
I was tired of bearing the weight
then there was you, my accomplice
my friend, my other, my voice
and I just left, leaving you to feel betrayed
you were holding yourself to impossible standards
beating yourself up each time you fell
taking it all in as part of you
looking for ways to forgive the others
trying to find the good, but never in yourself
living with the pain like it was truth
you didn’t know until you did, but now you do
didn’t know until you did, but now you do
did I never tell you you’re okay?
did I never thank you, never get the chance say—
stop holding yourself to impossible standards
beating yourself up each time you fall
taking it all in as part of you
look for the ways to forgive the others
try to find the good, but give it to yourself
hey, you survived and that’s the truth
I didn’t know until I did, but now I do
I didn’t know until I did, but now I do
but now I do
