Clearer

I can't forget how
You used to hold my hand
When I was ten
I was a little old for it
But you understood
Like leaving my door cracked
Cold morning empty street
Cut through the Catholic school
It was our daily walk
There is so much more
I wish I'd said
Even though all I did was talk
Nothing matters but the truth
Your hand was always mine to lose

I always wanted to be
Someone's daughter, sister, mother
These patterns get much clearer
When you're not so near
And I wish you knew why that was

You don't understand
How loud your silence speaks
To someone like me
Who finally beat the fear and the shame
You don't understand
How loud your silence speaks
When someone like you
Can't even say my name

I always wanted to be
Someone's daughter, sister, mother
These patterns get much clearer
When you're not so near
And I wish you knew why that was

It's probably way too early
You probably need more time
To get your rest
And fix your mind
Nothing matters but the truth
Your hand was always mine to lose

I always wanted to be
Someone's daughter, sister, mother
These patterns get much clearer
When you're not so near
And I wish you knew why that was

You used to hold my hand
When I was ten
Now you look at me like someone you could never understand
Wish I could hold you or reach you
Like I used to do back then
Wish we knew each other better
And you loved me for who I am

I always wanted to be
Someone's daughter, sister, mother
These patterns get much clearer
When you're not so near
And I wish you knew why that was
