Oh please forgive me
I never wanted you to worry
All those white lies
Were intended without malice or deception
I wanted to protect you
From my spiralling life
I thought the truth would make you cry
Adding to my own hefty burden
In that period of my life
I just didn't know how to deal with my problems
Extinguishing the light
That shone down upon
Oh please forgive me
All your efforts weren't in vain
How hard you tried
To change my adolescent perceptions
But all the good advice
Was laced with too much pressure
Pushing me into a corner
Increasing my desperation
In that period of my life
I just didn't know how to solve my problems
Extinguishing the light
That shone down upon me
Oh please forgive me
But I'm stronger for it
Without a guide
I had to learn to take responsibility
Choosing to take flight
In a self imposed exile
Gave me enough space and time
To resolve harmful issues
In this period of my life
I know how to solve my problems
Basking in the light
That shines down upon me
