Letting Go

Auburn

Sometimes the pain is all I have
 To remind me that I’m alive.
 I burn my father’s eyes
 As the sun burns mine;
 And I burn alive.

 I’m the bane of his existence. I inherited this curse.
 I got left behind, might as well be buried alive.
 Might as well be burned alive.
 I’m no good at letting go…

 I’m a bitter man with this weight to bear.
 With tired eyes that long to close forever.
 Growing up I always wondered what I did.
 How could you forget me so easily?

 I could move away but it wouldn’t solve anything
 When all my demons are in my head.
 They’re in my head.

 I’m a bitter man with this weight to bear.
 With tired eyes that long to close forever.
 Growing up I always wondered what I did.
 How could you forget me so easily?

 I could move away but misery follows me.
 All my demons are with me,
 I’m my own worst enemy.

 I’ve learned to live with this
 Just as you have learned to live without me
 Maybe some day this will pass.

 For my sake I’ll believe that I’m better off without you.
 So thank you.
