A wet trail of pain follows me
Where I drag my tattered heart
And the stream of tears flow
From the abuse of my emotions
My kindness and caring
How do I pick it all up and step on?
For I loved you more than myself
Perhaps the first mistake I made
To give and give, not accept to receive
Happiness dependent on
Making others happy
All failing and falling down
No white knight to the rescue
For it is I that must save myself
By learning to love all that I am
Above everything else
