Become My Own



Through Good And Bad Happy

And Sad Strong And True

Sad And Blue

With or without you



Never once did I doubt you

Throughout time

With a devastated mind

Time After Time



Lie after lie continuing to fight

For together we created life

For the years passed me by

Never knowing why

Yet still I must try

As the days pass me bye



I wish I had known

I could make it on my own

If somehow I could have known

Never would I have been

So afraid to stand alone



And become my own...
