We write the roles we play. 
So forgive me when I don't believe 
Anything you say.
So goddamn the weight of the hand that holds you down. 
Abby, goddamn it's the weight that everyone carries around. 
But it's nothing to you, 
I can see. 
Pride has always had its way with me. 
Cause I'm lost between 
Fear and dreams, 
The man you want me to be. 
But I find myself 
Returning endlessly-
to walking countless miles around my room, 
To passing countless afternoons. 
But it's nothing to you,
I can see,
As watched you break so easily.
And like a river cuts the earth beneath my feet in two,
You can't replace the years I lost to you.
And like a river cuts the earth beneath my feet in two,
You can't erase all those years I lost to you.
