Broken Child
Healing Scars: Stevie Delacruz's Tale of Resilience in 'Broken Child'
Lyrics
I know you've been trying
I acknowledge your efforts
To hold up your guard and just forget
You're trying to protect yourself and move on
All the pain that they left
Dealing with the aftermath of the pain they caused
Its sad that you think I'm just like them
Regrettable that you see me as similar to them
And now i am left with
I'm now dealing with the consequences
The damage that your father did
Facing the impact of your father's actions during your childhood
When you were just a kid
The scars from your early years
I know its not easy to forgive
Understanding that forgiveness is challenging
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Wishing for more time from you
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Hopeful to be a part of your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
Respecting your emotions
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Empathizing with how you'd feel in my situation
Broken child
Acknowledging your brokenness
Broken child
Reiterating the state of being a broken child
Broken child
Highlighting the brokenness
Broken child
Emphasizing the status of being broken
Trynna show thick skin
Attempting to appear strong
A closer look shows you're afraid
Closer examination reveals fear
And all your transgressions and emptiness
Your mistakes and emptiness hidden in tragic ways
Are covered up in tragic ways
Concealed pain manifested in tragic manners
The words "i love you"
Expressing love was absent from your mother
Were never heard from your own mother
The absence of maternal love
Could've helped you recover
Could have aided your recovery
Kills me knowing that im winning while your left out to suffer
My success hurts, knowing you're left to suffer
Wish you would have gave me some more time
Desiring more time from you
Was hoping you would keep me in your life
Hoping to be a lasting presence in your life
Can't blame you for what you're feeling inside
Understanding your internal struggles
I'd be the same if i just had your life
Empathizing with your life challenges
Broken child
Reiteration of being a broken child
Broken child
Emphasizing the state of brokenness
Broken child
Highlighting the brokenness once again
Broken child
Reiterating the status of being broken
I can see you're bleeding still
Observing ongoing pain
Could've saved ya, could've saved ya
A missed opportunity to save you
If you'd let me take the wheel
If you had let me, I could have helped
Wouldn't trade ya, wouldn't trade ya
Not willing to trade the chance to help you
I know you were venting out
Recognizing your need to express emotions
Shouldn't hate ya, shouldn't hate ya
No reason to hate you for it
Go ahead and just let it out
Encouraging you to release your feelings
Just let it out
An invitation to express and let go
Broken child
Reiteration of being a broken child
Broken child
Emphasizing the state of brokenness
Broken child
Highlighting the brokenness once again
Broken child
Reiterating the status of being broken
Broken child
Continued acknowledgment of brokenness
Broken child
Emphasizing the state of being broken
Broken child
Highlighting the brokenness once again
Broken child
Reiterating the status of being broken
Broken child, you were my broken child
Affirmation of your status as my broken child
