Fifteen Roses - Resolve

A life lived in denial

Too many vows violated

I couldn’t see the forest for the tree

Truth hit me like a cannonball

It took my breath away

And to think I thought I knew it all

I’d have so much to say

And I wonder, am I expected

To start it all over again?

You were so perfectly dishonest

I guess it was all for the best

To hell with your regrets, too little too late

Gave me an armor, threw it all away

And without it I’m terrified

Burn my roots and stems, take away my name

It’s hard to face a world with all of

These questions left with no answers

Fueled with sorrow

You were the match that lit me up

Now be my savior

And help me put out the fire

Will I stay the same or will I realize myself?

A mind shaped in fraud and lies

A life forever compromised

Could I trust again, breathe again

Learn to overcome the pain?

I won’t forgive, but I’ll forget

You were so perfectly dishonest

I guess it was all for the best
