The day I get myself back from you
won't come anytime soon
there is no map to mark out at the places
where you hid all the pieces
that you stole from me
plucking one up as you lied to me
telling me I had to be something else
while you promised to love me always
I'm starting to take them back
as my vision clears and the rain comes down
collecting up my dignity and pride
while I swallow down the screams inside
I pack it up to face the world outside
Hoping there's enough glue for this
and seeing that in the end you were right
there always was a piece missing
not sure I'd recognize it now
that acceptance that I never got
