You’d speak of love
But I never found it in you
This unwinnable game
Never the same kept changing
I was cooling fast
In the shadow you cast from your pulpit
And with my mother in mind
From what I was crouching behind I stood
I stood with no fear
No fear
Perpetually scared
On the turf that we shared for years
You’d bring it home
Cut me to the bone if I fought you
The courage in me
Drowned by the only thing that bound us
And ultimately
The one move left for me was to leave you
And show no fear
No fear
You wanted this
Don’t say it’s too much
I’d rather be on my own
Than afraid and alone with someone like you
You wanted this
I was never enough
I’d rather be on my own
Than afraid and alone with someone like you
No fear, I’ll never abandon myself again
