The Debt

Tonight the veil lifts so we can see each other The reckoning I waited for is here The past will have no power over me Now I know that it wasn't my fault Now I know that love isn't blood red All the pain you put me through will turn back to you Come over and surrender Come over and surrender The past has no power over me How can I forgive? If this is the price I pay to make you feel what I still deal with I can't put the past behind me and just forget and sometimes I wish I could but this rage has become fuel I've destroyed myself to protect me from my thoughts To be the one who twists the knife You will never take power over me again I'm breaking through the cage and I'm leaving my chains behind I need to forgive myself for trying to heal people like you Nothing and no one can bring me peace anymore I've burnt with the sun and cut with the cold wind Nothing and no one can hurt me now There's just one thing I can't forget: You owe me my light
