Note to Self

One, two

There are voices in your head
They go and come back again
All the years have made old men
Start to pile

You are perfect, you are fair
Think that's why I've kept you there
In a room safe from despair
Inner child

Now, the older I get, the harder it is
To hear what you've been saying
Thought I was guarding your heart
Turns out I was the one doing the breaking
And I'm sorry, I couldn't tell
Note to self

You don't think that it's a mess
It's just glitter on the dress
That's the power you possess
Inner child

But those shadows in your mind
Make the beauty hard to find
So I taught you how to hide
Behind denial

Now, the older I get, the harder it is
To hear what you've been saying
Thought I was guarding your heart
Turns out I was the one doing the breaking
And I'm sorry I put you through hell
Note to self

Maybe this is the part
Where we get to
Start again
Let me in

You've got so much more to go
Just know you're not alone
That's the reason that I wrote
Note to self
