lyrics

I never saw, I never realised
But you did love me, in your cruel ways
Oh but how it must have hurt your pride
Humiliating scenes I can't erase

But I'm still walking in your shoes
And I'm still making excuses up for you
After all, you were just terrified to lose me to another
Careful to destroy the sense of self-worth I still had

You only knew, you just internalized
The fucked up ways your mother loved her child
I tried to make it up a thousand times
But nothing could leave you satisfied

I thought I saw your skinny legs
Walking towards me
In the winter, a year ago
And all my dignity was gone,
And I was ready to forgive you
But I was wrong

I'm still walking in your shoes
When all I want is to leave this all behind
After all, you were ashamed of me and it's so hurtful what I find
Digging up old memories of things that I promised you to hide
But now it's time
I am yours no longer
I am mine
