You Didn't Destroy Me
Darkness and despair?
No, I couldn't go there.
Wallow in self-pity
'Cause life ain't always pretty?
Insist I be excused
Because I was abused?
Demand that I am owed
For carrying this load?
Would it be considered weak?
Would I be called a dirty freak?
If I succumb to bitterness
Would I be more of a mess?
Should I grieve for who I’m not
Or cherish all I’ve got?
I can’t pretend that I don’t care,
Nor will I scream that it’s unfair.
I won’t forgive and fake a smile
For your behavior, so damn vile.
I refuse to take the blame
Or hang my head in shame.
I know, come judgment day,
A hefty price you’ll pay.
No, I couldn't go there.
Wallow in self-pity
'Cause life ain't always pretty?
Insist I be excused
Because I was abused?
Demand that I am owed
For carrying this load?
Would it be considered weak?
Would I be called a dirty freak?
If I succumb to bitterness
Would I be more of a mess?
Should I grieve for who I’m not
Or cherish all I’ve got?
I can’t pretend that I don’t care,
Nor will I scream that it’s unfair.
I won’t forgive and fake a smile
For your behavior, so damn vile.
I refuse to take the blame
Or hang my head in shame.
I know, come judgment day,
A hefty price you’ll pay.
