And so you're here
Just like I knew you would be
So lonely and sure
Your doors are open wide
You left your clues in every room
But I was always self-consumed
You needed so much more in all your pain
You must have felt so alone
Still a child and yet you chose
You figured someone had to take the reins
These months of bitter tears
Made your decision clear
The reason you're not here
You couldn't stay
You're standing on your own
And you're so guarded
So fierce
Just like I knew you were
Credit where credit's due
Where I couldn't
He came through
I wasn't there when you needed a mother's arms
A baby crying for her mum
A mother frozen in the past
And carelessly I thought we still had time
Love who you've grown to be
That you're nothing like me
And when they look to you
They'll be okay.
I fought for you
I fought for you.
You were always fierce and brave
I wish I could have been the same
Maybe then you'd learn to love yourself
Thought the armour and the grace
Locked inside some hidden place
There's one thing that I think that I can give
I know your greatest fear
Is everybody leaves
One day you'll see it's true
I never will
No matter where you run
My love won't be undone
If it takes all my life
To prove
Little Luscia
Little Luscia
I never will
