| Stronger Now|

I held you for a moment in my hands
The moment with you slipped away like sand
Through my fingers now
In front of me a choice I have to make
To carry on or simply fade away
I'd lose you either way
I like to say that it was easy it was hard to say goodbye
I wish that I could die

Letting go of you
Was so hard to do
And I thought that it would kill me but I made it through somehow
And I'm so much stronger now

I gave to you my love and my respect
But I could never make you love me back
I denied it so
I grew bitter watching you grow cold
My life became your prison
Took its toll
I decided like a bird that's trapped inside a gilted cage
Tried to set it free
Hurts to watch it fly away

Letting go of you
Was so hard to do
And I thought that it would kill me but I made it through somehow
And I'm so much stronger now

Maybe one day, someday, I can make this my anthem. Right now, it's just too raw, too new, too much.
