I thought I was helping you But I couldn't see you breaking inside I see you now I see it all I tried to shape you, like a mirror of me But all I did was make you feel unseen I spoke too loud, and listened too late Now all I feel is the weight of my hate And I saw You fading more each day And I know I pushed your light away Now I see who you were trying to be And all I did was turn you into me You screamed for air, but I made you drown I wore your voice and I shut you down And I left you, numb I said it was love, but it felt like control I wanted to fix you, but I stole your soul You tried to dream, I blocked the sky Told myself I was right, never asked why And I know You were never the blame Now I see I just feared your flame Now I see who you were trying to be And all I did was turn you into me You screamed for air, but I made you drown I wore your voice, and I shut you down And I left you, numb If there's still a way Let me face the pain I won't bury you I won't break again Now I see who you were all along And I know I was the reason you felt wrong But if there's still time, please don't close the door I'll never silence who you are anymore You won't stay, numb
