Written at a time when I was struggling with forgiving myself for my past mistakes. I want to be thankful in everything.
I handed you my heart/I didn’t know it then/that you would give it back/broken into many little pieces/you couldn’t help me put it back together/because I couldn’t trust you anymore/I didn’t know why/I had to be so careful/when I shared things that were dear to me/because I couldn’t imagine what was next for me/
I handed you my emotions/I thought they would be safe/I couldn’t be more wrong/If this was how it was meant to be/I would’ve never wrote this song/I didn’t know you could hurt me so much/with the silence that you provided me/I know it will get better/I know it will get easier to let you go/
I handed you my hand/and you broke our marriage vows/I handed you everything/and you threw it back at me/trying to make me understand/that you never wanted to say I do/does it hurt me yes/but I will get better/I am still healing/I am growing up/putting my past behind/looking toward my future/
I feel beat up/I feel like you let me down/I feel like you are too dumb to understand/I don’t know how but I will emerge stronger/I tried to love the way my Father does/but sometimes we’ve got to go through hell to learn/what we wanted was different/from what each other thought at first/
