that one park bench Lyrics

Barefoot and that summer dress, on the run, no time to catch a breath

Thoughts in her mind running just as fast

The other kids playing on the playground, smiling, laughing out in the sun

While she was battling the biggest storm deep down

Sad for no reason, lasted more than a season

She hated herself, she didn't like being like this

Much better now, but when memories come back, she can't stop it

Looking down at her hand, remembering all the pain she went through

All her life blamed for something out of her control

She didn't choose this, no one would choose this

No matter how good the good is, that comes from going through it

Like a deep dark secret, that part of her she always kept locked up, hidden

Made her chaotic world a bit easier to live in

Better now, for the most part

But passing by that one bench at that one park

Still breaks her heart

Several years, things have been different

So much beauty from her healing

She's even learning to truly love herself

Thankful for the strength from scars

The people and places who helped her make it this far

Who helped her through the times

When she felt sad for no reason

Which lasted more than a season

She hated herself, she didn't like being like this

Much better now, but when memories come back, she can't stop it

Looking down at her hand, remembering all the pain she went through

All her life blamed for something out of her control

She didn't choose this, no one would choose this

No matter how good the good is, that comes from going through it

Like a deep dark secret, that part of her she always kept locked up, hidden

Made her chaotic world a bit easier to live in

Better now, for the most part

But passing by that one bench at that one park

Still breaks her heart

Thinking about the people, places, names and things that nearly tore her apart

The memories of it all

Still breaks her heart
