Because I couldn't force you to believe me,

I just asked you to listen.

I told you it got better.

Because our hearts were wounded,

I was careful with my feelings.

I didn't let you see me slipping.

Because of you, my whole world changed

From quiet to broken and screaming,

To wiping away tears, and trying to be strong.

I thought maybe, I could change your world, too.

Maybe.

I remember it so vividly, every word we ever shared,

You told me you were hurting and I showed you that I cared.

Now I promise, we're so close to the end.

The end of all this hurt and pain.

But with endings, come beginnings, 

And God, I hope your next beginning is a lot better to you than this one.
