lyrics

You came along on the third
So we could watch the fireworks afterward
You let out your first cry, I looked up at the sky
And I prayed you’d be better than me

I see the bed that you would jump on
I see the faith that you would run on
Start to wither and fade when I screamed “go away”
Turned my back and then went back to sleep

And now it’s been a while, you’re no longer a child
But I find my way back to what no one should have to
Let define every move they’ll ever make ‘til they prove
That the bomb inside has been diffused

I’m sorry you had to see me like that
I’m sorry you had to see me like that
You can say you’ve forgotten and I’ve become what you wanted
But you still had to see me like that

They tell me how it’s just tradition
To wish that you could have listened
To the voice saying “Stop, can’t you see what you’ve got?
She’s the air that you signed up to breathe

And she’ll need you around when her faith hits the ground
But if she stops believing, she’ll find herself leading
Her way through the flames that her dreams all became
When she got too scared to call your name”

I’m sorry you had to see me like that
I’m sorry you had to see me like that
You can say you’ve forgotten, and I’ve become what you wanted
But you still had to see me like that

“You did your best!” No, I didn’t
“We make mistake!” No, you listen
I cut you but I won’t tell you how to breathe

You’re everything that I’m not and everything that I’ve got
But now I know you’re everything that I’ll ever need

I’m sorry you had to see me like that
I’m sorry you had to see me like that
You may not remember, but it’s with me forever
And you still had to see me like that

I’m sorry you had to see me like that
I’m sorry you had to see me like that
You’re the reason I’m healing, but no matter how I’m feeling
I’ll be sorry you had to see me like that

I’m sorry you had to see me like that
I’m sorry you had to see me like that
If you could just be my baby one more time then just maybe
You wouldn’t have to have seen me like that
