A Truth That's Mine to Bear

A thought has fallen from far away
A smile a laugh a choice
A harsh truth and a darkened day
A buried inner voice

The choice you made was meant for me
Though at first I didn't see it
These decisions have set me free
An escape from everything I've feared

The darkness helped me see the light
And now I'm on my own
I can remember what's right
I can learn from all the wrong

Because in truth you weren't a friend
I just wanted to see you there
Not a mistake but I was wrong again
Just wanted someone to care

Thanks to you I know what's real
I'm the only one who cares
I'll make the choice again to feel
Only for a truth that's mine to bear
