As The Years Pass

Bottles on the floor
Bruises on your face
The pain in your voice bouncing off walls
Softly closing doors
Tried to keep me safe
But time after time I'd see you fall

It's silent in our home
You stopped walking around
Stuck in a spot you couldn't get out

As the years pass and I look back on us
I know you were just doing your best
I've learned to let it go

Years of sharing thoughts
Laughing up the walls
Not sure why you never called
I felt you slip away
Saw it in your face
You weren't listening anymore

As the years pass and I look back on us
I know you were just doing your best
I've learned to let it go

As the years pass and I look back on us
I know you were just doing your best
I've learned to let it
