Always carrying the weight of your mistakes Thinking that if I let go, you'll walk away Maybe if I keep crying out your name, you'll stay And if not then give me a chance to say I forgive you. For all the times I was ignored For all the years I swore you truly missed me For all the days I cried for help, when I was silenced, told to shut my mouth. I forgive you And maybe you'll forgive me too for staying silent and closing the door. For closing off and not letting you in more But for now my younger state will do whatever it takes to keep carrying your weight, hoping that you'll stay
