Knew It All Along

You could say I knew it all along
That you were all I wanted to know
The pain has made you grow strong
The scars inside have made you beautiful

Stop breathing for me you said
It's your right to shun dependence
When you shun
When you're scared to accept
Someone to share your regrets

When you're aching
You go it alone
When you want to
You take what you need to make you whole

I know it's not easy
I know I can't feel what you feel
Trust just don't come easy
Cause to trust is to depend

You could say I knew it all along
That you were all I wanted to know
The pain has made you grow strong
The scars inside have made you beautiful

Stop breathing for me you said
It's your right to shun dependence
And when you shun
And you're scared to accept
Someone to share your regrets

I know it's not easy
I know I can't feel what you feel
And trust just don't come easy
Cause to trust is to depend
And who wants to give up that part of them?

You know you can have it if you want to
I'll find you
Unrelated, cultivated
When you wake up incubated in me
You're free to leave if you
Knew it all along
