How I Know

The excuses I make
The only truths I hide
Are in your defense
Only for you would I lie

Such a common syndrome
Such a horrible disease
I try to pretend that you
Do nothing wrong to me

There will never be a time
When I acknowledge your wrongs
I only remember the beauty
Holding on to your angelic song

Your my wife, my mate, my eternal blessing
My hurt is for you as well as myself
My best friend, my guardian, my shoulder
I see you turn your life in to your own new hell

I've lived on my own
I've stood on my own two feet
I know I can survive
The point is what I seek

This man would still take you back
And love you more than anyone
Who else can claim the same
After all the damage thats been done

I have laid my love on my skin
After you walked out the door
I have written you the words
Of feelings maybe you didn't realize before

I will sacrifice my own self
To be whole with you again
I can let go of this internal disaster
To hear I love you often

From your heart
