Even After You're Gone

From the time of conception they knew there was something wrong
But to leave you there on your own, you wouldn't last long
It's so hard to let it go, even after you're gone

She came from the city with nothing to live for
In the time it takes to learn and love, we can never know
She wrote all the things that were too hard to say
It's so hard to let it go, even after you're gone

Holding her breath underwater till it's all erased
The lies she has to tell open the lines on her face
She's going home
She's going home
