PAYING FOR HIS MISTAKES

It seems the harder I try, the harder it is, to break down this wall you've built

impossible for me, to ever deliver pure love, when you make me carry around his guilt

why do you take out on me, what was inflicted by he, who is the true center of your disgust

everyday of my life, I'm paying for his past mistakes, everyday I'm receiving distrust

your past is not our present, but it affects our future, cause your wounds are still fresh and wide open

the more love I flood into that heart of yours, the faster it comes out, cause the other side of is still open

he crushed your hopes, and destroyed your dreams, desires, and kept you down

he took away your spirit, never letting you grow, anticipating in your sorrows you'd drown

his negative spirit embedded into your soul, so now negativity is all you know

your pain is on high alert, preventing you from receiving love, preventing us from the potential to grow

He is not I and I'm certainly not him, yet your eyes burn through my soul like I'm the one

who dismissed your emotions and did away with your smile, so oh what a crazy web you've spun

I can't be held responsible for what someone else did, I can only try to build you back up

yet when I display my love in abundance to you, the look you give me back says to me "Good Luck"
