Left me to Drown

You broke my heart

Left me standing in the sea

The waves rising fast

Ready to swallow me

You left me to drown

Even though I cried to you for help

I reached out my hand

But you kicked it and walked away

If only you knew how broken I was

Instead of leaving me for dead

You may have come and rescued me

Instead I drowned in the sea

I have tried hard to forgive you

I thought that I had

But when it comes to seeing you

The walls of defence build up inside

Maybe the best thing to do is leave

Leave the past behind us

And forget about what happened

And move onto pastures new

In order for me to do that

I need to say goodbye to you

I need to leave you behind

So I walk through the open door to freedom
