Your embrace
Felt like home
All your love
Made me whole
Your embrace
Felt like home
A mother's love
Parting ways
Shielding me
From a life of abuse
Poison offered
You should have refused
Couch to couch
Always scraping by
Everyday you're gone
It's eating me alive
I wish you knew
The poison kills slow
This looming fear
I soon grew quick to know
Suppress my feelings
Try and block out the noise
I couldn't stop it
I never had a choice
I was young
And time was wasted
Your smile
Nothing will replace it
I was young
And time was wasted
Your love
Nothing will replace it
No one knows
The blood I've bled
Left here filled with regret
An empty home devoid of hope
No where to go
Tears I've cried
To let out my grief
I pray to something
Crawling on my knees
I'm left with nothing
No joy and no hope
A child's right
Stripped from me, revoked
A wretched feeling
Burning in my soul
An empty heart
No one else will know
My final hope
Frayed and torn
Your mistakes
The reason you're gone
I was young
And time was wasted
Your smile
Nothing will replace it
I was young
And time was wasted
Your love
Nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing will
Nothing
Will
Replace
You
Nothing
Your embrace
Felt like home
All your love
Made me whole
Your embrace
Felt like home
A mother's love
Parting ways
