Better Without You

You walked away when I was a child Never came back, I was defiled

Shadow cast, wrong and unkind Still I've grown up with my own mind

Years rolled on with every season turn Felt the cold from the bridges you burned

From the edges I still rise Not to repeat but to defy

You just died and I am relieved There's no one left to be deceived

I saw through your lies and jest But you still made my life a mess

I've waited a long time for this There's nothing I recall that I even miss

You never spoke to me longer than a minute My life is better without you in it

Could have been the hero in my night sky Instead you left, didn't even try

Found peace now on this new dawn The curses they fed, the chains are gone
