Swollen Shut

Swollen Shut

You cant feel it if you never seen it
So I try to steal it but its already been stolen
The way you almost left
Was the day I bent over and became
SWOLLEN

Hollow out the insides like you care not
Follow your sides is why I cant heal
Show me how to care allot
The stolen is ready to steal

You forgot what you've been fighting for again
The stuff I got myself into is to deep to climb out alone
You lost track of time so no where to go and no one wins
The stuff I never thought would happen finally grown

Show it everyday
Every minute, don't quit
Every second, don’t give in
Every scar was once a slit
Sorry but I cant take what’s given
The word of freedom cant be heaven

You cant feel it if you never seen it
So I try to steal it but its already been stolen
The way you almost left
Was the day I bent over and became
SWOLLEN

The memories, visions, and distant desions
The past, present, and the years spent
Pain, love, sorrow, regret, screams, and dreams
I never fooled you, I just made my mistakes

I'll do whatever it takes right here, right now
Right on this very day, explain my breaks
To get your trust, heart, and faith
To be in your arms, the only place I felt safe

The break downs and take downs
The cries and eyes swollen shut
The days and nights
And the swollen cuts

You cant feel it if you never seen it
So I try to steal it but its already been stolen
The way you almost left
Was the day I bent over and became
SWOLLEN

I will never have enough of this pain
Its a way to keep the blood in my veins
I know it makes no sense now
But you will never understand the type of love and how

And why I decide to always take your side
Even if you hurt and scared my insides
I will always love you, always and forever
Even if you left me in the cold, put me on hold to decide

But I will still never forget the day
You stole my heart and threw it away
Told me you didn’t no if you needed me
I prayed to nothing, to no one, search for the high I need
