Glossary - Valessa lyrics

Valessa, you wear your pain well It's under your skin where no one can tell Behind your eyes and skeleton frame Wrapped like wisteria vines around your veins Ahead of you lies handfuls of tears Thousands of chances for fate to appear New mornings to weaken the aching you feel But never will it disappear And know that sometimes your own blood Can leave you with open wounds Cut so deep they never stop bleeding But you don't want to be the one who dies with a broken heart That had a chance at healing Your momma ain't around You were your daddy's little mistake The selfish can't keep promises they make Now your left to find from where you came With no road home no history to reclaim But Valessa, don't let this world get to you Happiness can be yours if you want it to Because family is just another word for the ones you love So open up your arms honey let me give you some And know that sometimes your own blood Can leave you with open wounds Cut so deep they never stop bleeding But you don't want to be the one who dies with a broken heart That had a chance at healing
