Sweet Ascent safe to say

The car in drive
The windows up
I'm suffocating in the silence of my mind's persistent rush
I have always been so strong and independent
and always to sidetracked to call
the consequence of my strength and independence
is a selfishness that serves to magnify my flaws
and it's safe to say that I was the coward
and I always knew you would
be the one to show me what strength is when I was the one who should.
Hazy eyes and sleepless nights have become my new normal
feeling sorry for myself while you endure more torture
You have always been so strong and independent
never one to ask for help, no
when it's said and done this strength and independence
is what left us all alone
and it's safe to say that I was the coward
and I always knew you would
be the one to show me what strength is when I was the one who should
and it's safe to say that I was the coward
and I always knew you would
be the one to show me what strength is when I was the one who should
and it's safe to say that I was the coward
and I always knew you would
be the one to show me what strength is when I was the one who should
