Trust Me
A Decade of Reflection: Navigating Loss, Finding Strength
Lyrics
Well it's been ten years
Reflecting on the passing of ten years.
I still can't believe you're not here
Expressing disbelief about the absence of someone.
What am I supposed to do
Pondering what actions to take in the absence.
And how'm I going to get through
Expressing uncertainty about overcoming the situation.
Cause look at me
Examining one's identity in relation to expectations.
Am I who you wanted me to be
Questioning if the current self meets expectations.
I still want to make you proud of me
Desiring approval and acknowledgment from the absent person.
And I still don't understand
Expressing confusion about the circumstances.
Where was I supposed to land
Reflecting on where one was supposed to end up.
And then you'd say to sit down and pray
Recalling advice to sit down and pray.
And I know you'll find your way
Believing that the absent person will find their way.
Because you're stronger than you know
Acknowledging the strength of the absent person.
Why don't you give it a go
Encouraging to try and face challenges.
Trust me I know
Expressing assurance and understanding.
Trust me I know
Repeating the message of trust and understanding.
But I still miss you every day
Expressing ongoing grief for the absent person.
And there's still so much to say
Feeling that there's more to say and express.
There were lessons yet to learn
Regretting that there were still lessons to learn.
Why'd it have to be your turn
Questioning why it had to be the absent person's turn to go.
And now the greatest lesson you taught me
Recognizing a valuable lesson taught by the absent person.
I finally see it so clearly
Gaining clarity on the lesson.
I'll do what you say
Committing to follow the advice given.
And I'll sit down and pray
Deciding to engage in prayer.
And I know I'll find my way
Believing in finding one's way through challenges.
Because I'm stronger than I know
Acknowledging personal strength.
So I'll give it a go
Deciding to face challenges with determination.
Cause now I know
Expressing newfound understanding and confidence.
And I hope you still see me
Hoping for continued approval from the absent person.
I think you might be proud of me
Suspecting that the absent person would be proud.
I'm so grateful I had you
Expressing gratitude for the presence of the absent person in life.
Thank you
Thanking the absent person.
Thank you
Repeating gratitude.
Thank you
-And it's been ten years
Reflecting on the passage of another ten years.
And now I know that you're still here
Realizing that the absent person is still present in a different way.
I just see you differently
Perceiving the absent person differently.
It's all in me
Recognizing that the essence of the absent person is within.
It's all in me
Acknowledging internal strength and presence.
