Self-fulfilled Excuses

All I ever wanted was to be right there

To touch your cheek and stroke your hair
I always thought that I was so strong
But I regret it never took very long
Until I was alone the times you were gone
Before I needed something or
Someone to hold on

I never thought there would be a love I shared
Never believed anyone would care
Looking back I finally realize
The truth is so unkind
All the fights and distances were caused
By all these thoughts inside my mind

A self fulfilling prophecy
My pain was just a lie
My fears laughed and mocked me
Since to them I'd always cry
I thought I was surviving
Being strong while I was wronged
Now I see it was my doing
Writing my own lines to this song
