A Grown Up Child's Song

A child's hurting, trapped inside
Beneath a smile, tortured memories hide
Clear the canvas the road is blood stained red
Share my burden, memories of the dead

I've been lonely, I've been left behind
Stolen grieving, that was never mine

Years of lacking, lie in wait
Misdirection, confusion ill placed hate
The false front's falling, love is to its knees
The placid home front in calamity

I've been lonely; I've been left behind
I've been down this road a thousand times
I've been lonely I've been left behind
Stolen grieving, that was never mine

I thought that time would come to heal, cleanse my wounds and make me free
All alone in my regret, seconds turn to decades but still I bleed, I bleed

Hello nighttime, star bright
Snow covered granite under the moonlight
This is not, what supposed to be
Wrapped inside my Christmas memory

I've been lonely, I've been left behind
Stolen grieving, that was never mine
