Your embrace Felt like home All your love Made me whole Your embrace Felt like home A mother's love Parting ways Shielding me From a life of abuse Poison offered You should have refused Couch to couch Always scraping by Everyday you're gone It's eating me alive I wish you knew The poison kills slow This looming fear I soon grew quick to know Suppress my feelings Try and block out the noise I couldn't stop it I never had a choice I was young And time was wasted Your smile Nothing will replace it I was young And time was wasted Your love Nothing will replace it No one knows The blood I've bled Left here filled with regret An empty home devoid of hope No where to go Tears I've cried To let out my grief I pray to something Crawling on my knees I'm left with nothing No joy and no hope A child's right Stripped from me, revoked A wretched feeling Burning in my soul An empty heart No one else will know My final hope Frayed and torn Your mistakes The reason you're gone I was young And time was wasted Your smile Nothing will replace it I was young And time was wasted Your love Nothing will Nothing will Nothing will Nothing will Nothing Will Replace You Nothing Your embrace Felt like home All your love Made me whole Your embrace Felt like home A mother's love Parting ways
