The waiting room feels heavy, dark, and slow
As she walks in, cold, with dreams that are faded
Sitting down in fear of the unknown
They'll take her hand and try to erase her past
She tells them that she needs some time alone
A quiet room where no one can listen
Clutching at her sides, she's on her own
And when it's safe there, she looks down and whispers
"I'm afraid I will regret this
And I just wanted you to know
Everyone has their thoughts
And I'm drowning from the weight of it all
I wish there was a simple answer
A magic cure, an easy road
But this I know
I won't leave you, won't let you go
And we will find a way
But I don't understand how
I will do this, will make a home
Where we get through the day
'Cause if I lost you, I'd lose me too"
Thank you for the sacrifice you made
Not knowing how we'd be able to get through
I'll never understand everything that you gave
But I'm older now, here, ready to tell you
You didn't know if you'd regret this
And haven't ever since that day
Everyone had their thoughts
And you shut them out and walked away
You didn't buy the simple answer
You chose to give me everything
When you told me
"I won't leave you, won't let you go
And we will find a way
But I don't understand how
I will do this, will make a home
Where we get through the day
The sacrifice is hard but it's the sacrifice I choose
'Cause if I lost you, I'd lose me too"
