I let you go
I became your escape
I sent you home
To that far away place

I told you I loved you
I said I can do this on my own
I knew it would be difficult
Doing this alone

I was too young to realize
I didn't know it'd be forever
I never understood why
We cant always be together

I let you go
I set you free
I became your escape
But this guilt kills me

I lived with my grandfather until I was 7 years old, when he passed away. Its ben hard without him, but I manage. One day at a time.
