Kimber Marie

No matter what the world says
You still hold a place for me
And call for me by name
No matter what the world says
With you I am loved

I have searched the world over
looking for a love like yours
I found nothing but
guilt and shame
reminders that you
would feel the same

But...no matter what the world says
You still hold a place for me
and call for me by name
NO matter what the world says
You love me the same

I searched the world over
looking for a love like yours
You were there all along
holding a place for me
calling me to come home
to come home

I am home now
I am safe in your arms
Sheltered by the cleft of the rock
that stands on solid ground
I am no longer sinking in sand
The storms can rage, the words can harm
but with you I am still safe
I am safe

As I heal
I say goodbye
To care of me

You had chance after chance
As I became collateral damage
To your pain and hate
I carried it well
Until now
As I heal
I say goodbye
To take care of me

I don't know what to say
or how to make this right
When it was your mistakes
That led us to this final goodbye
If nothing else
Always remember
I cared and depleted myself
So you could feel

As I heal
I say goodbye
To take care of me

My next steps are shaky and unsure
As I find my way without you next to me
The wind blows north
As my heart grows cold
My world goes dark
I whisper one last goodbye
As I leave to find me

I see the winds of change haven't passed
I see you mirroring my past
History is repeating itself
Before my eyes
I cry out helplessly

Don't go
Don't go
Please don't go

I see the beginning of the pain
The words that can't be taken back
The beginning of the deep scares
That will push you so far
All I can do is scream

Don't go
Don't go
Please don't go

This is the beginning of the end
This road is paved with my own
Pain and tears
You deserve better
But you can't hear me begging

Don't go
Don't go
Please don't go

If I'd known how it'd all unfold
I would have put the pedal to the metal
and crossed that state line
I would have double checked
those mirrors
to make sure I left it all behind
I would have thrown my ring
off of state road 9
But no
This tortured love is all mine

I used to spend my days
laughing in the rain
now all I do
Is hide my tears in the beating sun
I use makeup to cover the sleepless nights
and whiskey to cover a lonely heart
Tired of holding it all together
when all I want is to cross that state line

All my dreams crashed and burned
when I made that left hand turn
No idea what was up ahead
Looking for adventure on the wrong side of town
Ended up with a painted clown
Before I knew where I was
I was too far from freedom town

There's no magic 8 ball
to tell me
if it's right
or if its wrong
Just a broken heard to remind me

Everything I had ever known
Has been shattered
Left as broken pieces
On the cold hard ground

I thought it was normal
To be silenced
To be hurt
To be broken
Everything has been taken
Just broken pieces
Is all I am

There is no saving me
I'm a shell
of who I was meant to be
I try to take a deep breath
The glue wont' hold
I crumble like I am told

I thought it was normal...

I'm screaming from the inside out
Won't someone show me one thing real
I need to find a different way
I'm locked in
By all the hurtful words they say

Our history wrote itself
We were always meant to
end up here
In a familiar place
An easy choice; an easy love.

But I want you to take me deeper
Tell me your secretes; tell me your dreams
Don't keep your heart from me
Take me deeper

Our story was destined
It was written before
we found each other again
Now we are wasting time
shouting words
we never meant

But I am begging you to take me deeper
Tell me your secrets; tell me your dreams
Don't keep your heart from me
Take me deeper

I'm fighting myself
You were all I ever wanted
we are strangers once again
And I'm screaming

Take me deeper...

Baby this is mental
I wasn't built to break this way
Take what's left of me
and throw it all away
Please save me
Before I let me go

In an ordinary life
I'd be able to tell you I'm fine
Be your rock
your rhyme or reason
your Bonnie and Clyde
Till the end
But I can't be them all
I'm barely whole
So keep what you've taken
and let me go

In the chaos I burn
I'm loosing fast
and time is fading
An imploding life
full of strife

Do you cry for me
and what I have become
do you pine away
for all that I am and was
Tell me have I given enough
