Angry words thrown around
Hearts are torn in two.
How do I make myself walk away
And turn my back on you?
Your fault, my fault or our fault
Does it really matter why?
Words cannot be washed away
No matter how hard we try.
I can’t take back my mistakes
Or change what has been done.
I can only pray that God will stay
And watch over you, my son.
I’ve lost this battle to the enemy
But I will not lose the war.
For Jesus still walks beside me
His love steadfast and sure.
I love you more than life itself
But I must get off this train.
Watching you as you self-destruct
I cannot bear this pain
I’ll keep praying every day
That God breaks what has you bound.
And hope that I am here to see
Your life get turned around.
