Part II:

Part II: of "It's Been A While"

It's been a while since I've been whole
I think you should know
It's been a while since I've felt my soul
If it's there, it's far below

it's been a while since I've been outside these walls
I've been in here for centuries
In here, the outside world can't see my falls
To me, these walls are my victory

I wish you wouldn't care anymore
I wish you would leave
All those nights he hurt me
I still hurt, I still grieve
I wish you would go
Before I become your hell
Before I'm your demise
I wish you'd say farewell

It's been a while since I've loved him
It's been a while since I've wanted to
But his cuts still burn my skin
More permanent than a tattoo

It's been a while since I've known light
I think I've always been dark inside
I think I'll always feel like the night
I think you'd better run and hide

I need you to not care anymore
I need you to leave
All those nights he hurt me
I still hurt, I still grieve
I need you to go
Before I become your hell
Before I'm your demise
You need to say farewell

It's been a while since I've heard your voice
It's been a while since you've phoned
Am I someone you've just forgotten
Or am I someone you've just postponed

It's been a while since you've seen me
It's been a while since you've wanted to
Because you don't care much about me
It's been a while since I've wanted you to

I know you don't care anymore
Because I needed you to leave
All those nights he hurt me
I still hurt, I still grieve
And I needed you to go
Before I became your hell
Before I became your demise
You said farewell

Sometimes people can hurt you so much you feel like you are not worthy to be with another,
you tell them to leave, you believe you may ruin them too, drag them down.
But if they stay, that is when you know its love.
