The Blood & The Bones

I was in a war with myself to keep you loving me and you were in a war over there and had no idea

I tried to be strong for you, for us, for them. But not for myself. There was so much inside of me I never said..

I wanted so bad to be someone you longed to come home to and yet somehow convinced myself I’d never mean as as much to you as the battles you fought for someone else

Eventually you came home but something inside of me never did
