I know what you didn’t want them to show me
it didn’t even matter if they cared
so who’s to blame for our story
the weak or the strong who turned their heads.

Now I’m hearing all perspectives
understanding the limits of your load
should have known you can’t tame the best ones
should have known he wanted all the control.

Trying to let go of all my anger
at a mess that was made by the ones I loved
now I’ve forgotten all about them
had to reach deep inside to pull them up.

And all that’s left are the embers
of a love that was strong but gave up
leaving only scattered ashes
for us to try and clean up.
