Understanding

I thought this would all fade away
Didn’t know you would stay so angry
I thought it was just a passing phase

Bruises heal your wounds are deeper
Bruises heal wounds are deeper than me
I can’t mend your broken past
Never thought I’d become part of that story

Staring at the truth 
I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over
Washing over me
Understanding

Should have read the writing on the wall
You never wanted an understanding 
You had to have it all your way
I don’t think you deserve my family if you don’t want to see my face

Staring at the truth 
I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over
Washing over me
Understanding

We all want to rewrite our history
To come out on the higher ground but
Does it count as history
If it’s only in my
Only in my memory

Could’ve done it different from the start
Didn’t know you would stay so angry
History will not absolve you
Holding on to all that pain

Staring at the truth 
I felt the waves of grief
Crashing over
Washing over me
Understanding
