Knew It All Along

you can say i knew it all along

that you were all i wanted

to know the pain has made you grow strong

the scars inside have made you beautiful

stop breathing for me

you said it's your right to shun dependence

and you shun

and you're scared to accept

someone to share your regrets

when you're aching

you go it alone

when you want to

you take what you need to make you whole

i know it's not easy

i know i can't feel through what you have been and trust

don't come easy

'cause to trust is to depend

and who wants to give up that part of them

you know you can have it

if you want to

i'll find you unrelated, cultivated

when you wake up incubated in me

you're free to leave

if you knew it all along
