Looking back in a different light,
it's clear to see that you didn't understand
one single part of me.
You said you were protecting me
from the aggressive monsters I had inside,
but I guess up close you began to see
the life sentenced attached to loving me.
There's no way to prove that you had no intent
of hurting me from the very start -
perhaps you had an escape plan all along.
Looking back now with hopeless eyes,
there was no point hanging on tighter.
I was already drowning in your love – without chains.
At the end of the line,
it was my desperate choice to trust a stranger
and mistakenly think they had a heart.
