If only

It’s been so many years since I’ve seen your face

Yet it still haunts me

I have tried so hard to forget

But it’s still you I want

 

If only..

I curse the stars for crossing us

And I wish I could hate you for what you put me through

It’s been so many years since I last heard your voice

Still I only want you

 

Time moves so fast

It’s no wonder nothing ever lasts

I want to wipe out the memories

I have cursed every part you’ve played in my past

 

If only..

It’s you who makes me so damn lonely

And I wish I could hate you for walking away

I have known for so many years nothing you said was true

Still the only one I want is you

 

And I know I am destined to walk the rest of my life alone

Only I can heal the void in my wounded soul

Still when I close my eyes, it’s your eyes I see

I think I’d be willing to die for

You just holding me

Just one last time..

 

But you will never hold me again

And I have no choice but to deal with the  pain

 

If only..

There’s no point in thinking like that

In keeping the memory alive and burning

I know I have to kill the flame that keeps you alive in my hopes and dreams

You sacrificed me like I was nothing..

It should have been so easy

But nothing ever is as easy at seems

 

And I know I am destined to walk this life alone

Only I can fill the void within my wounded soul

Still when I close my eyes.. It’s always your eyes I see

And I think I could die for

You just holding me

 

Just one last time..

Just one last time.

(And I shouldn’t say it but..)

If only

If only..

 

 

On the road to freedom

I can’t back down now

Can’t let all these battles be fought in vain

I’m bullding my castle brick by bloody brick

I’m finding new ways to let go of the pain

 

And it’s anything but easy

But I know I got what it takes

Watching as the stars begin to align

Leaving all the broken years behind

I am on the road to freedom

 

I’m done merely just surviving

I’m building something on my own

From a warrior to a queen

I’m claiming back my throne

 

I’m building my castle brick by bloody brick

But I know I got what it takes

Watching as the stars begin to align

Leaving all the broken years behind

I am on the road to freedom

 

No more shadows, no more chains

I’m washing off the old remains

The road is long, but the view is mine

This is my moment, it’s my turn to shine

 

I am building my castle brick by bloody brick

And I know I got what it takes

Watching as the stars have finally aligned

Leaving all the broken years behind

I have found my way to freedom

 

Brick by bloody brick..

I have found my way to freedom

 

 

Warrior child

Bleeding soul, the deepest cut

I thread the needle, but this wound won’t shut

Sleepless nights, I’m not all right

Curse this body and its fight or flight

 

I am all grown up now, and the past is behind

But in the darkness safety is a thing within I cannot find

And you know, I know you do.. Tell me, can you sleep? ‘Cuz I bet you can!

I still pay for your sins and the price is my mind

I don’t want to lose my sanity, but sometimes I’m forced to

You try carrying all this weight without breaking!

 

I rebuild myself from scratch again every damn time!

 

Broken glass in my blood

When I act out the pain I am always misunderstood

I am trying so damn hard to make sense of other people’s fucked up behaviour

It’s hard, so damn hard!

Always having to be your own saviour

 

I am all grown up now, FUCK YOU for calling me a child

’Cuz when did I ever really get to be one..?

And this healing process sure is gonna take me a while

(maybe the rest of my life, but I am willing to do the work)

Fully whole is what I aim to become

I’ll get there!

 

I’m all grown up now, but I will always have so much respect for younger me

What you went through, what you dealt with..

The warrior child inside, I’ll set you free

I’ll set myself free!

The warrior child inside, keep living on in me

You live on in me!

 

I am the storm that survived the rain

I am the beauty born out of the pain

You tried to bend me, you tried to break

But I’m the soul you could never take!

 

Warrior child-rising from the dust

Warrior child-in myself I trust

The needle is moving, the thread is held tight

I’m stepping out of the shadows and into my light!

Warrior child..

You live on in me!
