"It's not your fault," she said You cupped your hands under your chin Staring out the window Remembering a time When all you knew was kindness They kicked you out for the last time Said, "Don't come back here again" The night was cold, the ground was wet You knew this time they won't forget
They close a door and you disappear You've learned that life hurts Don't waste a single day When you were ten you flew Your sister said you fell and hit your head But you knew it wasn't true No matter if they bullied you You held on tight and let go into flight
