Untitled

I dreamed of you before you were real

A tiny hand I'd someday feel

You were my light before the dark came in

Now I’m a shadow wearing my skin

I’m walking away

My son

I’m walking away

I love you so much I cannot stay

The monster I fight is inside of me

And I need to let you and your dad be free

Your laughter's the cure I can’t deserve

A better man would find the nerve

But my mind’s a maze with no escape

I’m lost in walls that shift and scrape

I thought love could be my tether

But storms don’t calm with just the weather

I’m walking away

My son

I’m walking away

I love you so much I cannot stay

The monster I fight is inside of me

And I need to let you and your dad be free

You’re the sunrise in my endless night

The one pure thing in a broken life

But if I hold you

You’ll lose your shine

And I won’t steal anymore time

You’ll be ok

It’s better this way

You’ll see someday

You’re better off with out me

I’m walking away

My son

I’m walking away

I love you so much I cannot stay

The monster I fight is inside of me

And I need to let you and your dad be free
