The Tides

Some things I can’t hide

The pain from the tide

Turning on me

The tide went out, they came right back in

Trapping me on an island I’d never win

It was cold and it was lonely

I was thinking if only

If I could be desperate enough one day

To leave it all and just fly away

Cause Dad was never there

And Mom didn’t care

All I wanted to hear was three simple words

But no matter how long I waited to hear

The words never came, the fog never cleared

So winter came and froze me inside

Couldn’t see the light coming from your eyes

I was so blind

But blood turned to ice and it had to suffice

For each step I took, I could have fallen through

If it wasn’t for you

And in this in between, called home

I know I am not alone

It’s never what the say it is

It’s not comforting, not loving

You get so sick of pretending

That it doesn’t hurt you every time

They leave you behind

But then we meet

And you never left

What begin with your death

Started my new life

Then you went on everyday saving me

From everything I was never meant to be

But I know things are gonna happen

and my destiny will change even when trapped in

This thing called home

I wonder what will change their minds

I wonder if they’ll change like the tide

For their sake, I pray to you they never do
