Every scar tells a story, defects that prove the past
The same way the heal and disappear
we cannot let this hurt last.
Apologies strum my hearts strings,
"Forgive me I love you son."
Your lips say you're sorry but, your hands say you've just begun.
I am just like you, I wanna be happy too.
And though you have no clue, I'm gonna be just like you.
I'll learn to talk with my hands, no, more like demand
and they'll see it my way, and learn how I did from you.
The cycle continues.
Well half of me feels so empty, just knows that it's all my fault.
The rest of me doesn't know what i've done, so young but still so wrong
I am just like you, I wanna be happy too.
And though you have no clue, I'm gonna be just like you.
I'll learn to talk with my hands, no, more like demand
and they'll see it my way, and learn how I did from you.
The cycle continues.
I just wanna be loved, like all of my friends.
But if I react, then you'll react back,
this message will never get through.
I don't know how to love, love anybody else.
Not even myself, but no-one can tell
and I don't know what to do.
Because I am just like you, I wanna be happy too.
And though you have no clue, I'm gonna be just like you.
I'll learn to talk with my hands, no, more like demand
and they'll see it my way, and learn how I did from you.
The cycle continues.
