Raven House Poets - My Confession Lyrics

I look at you now
And I see a beautiful person
I smile at you now
And you smile back at me

It wasn't always this way
It was a little harder, a lot harder
When you thought you shouldn't stay
Get away from me - farther

I was the world's sad critic
And you hoped and you prayed
But I was simply pathetic
My self-esteem was tattered and frayed

And slowly things began to change
When you held my black heart
What you did I cannot say
I just know we'll never part

I was the world's sad critic
And you hoped and you prayed
But I was simply pathetic
My self-esteem was tattered and frayed

I never struck you with my hand
Never held your arm behind your back
But it hurt you just the same

Oh you watched and you waited
You hoped and you hurt
As I tried to get help 'cause I felt like dirt
Each day you woke up and you prayed for the sun
You kept it inside, you did not run

You watched
You waited
You hoped
You didn't run away

Oh you watched
