Filles Dela Roi*

I won't deny you've never been hurt
Overexposed, God only knows
I'll never cringe at the things you've done
That's just how life sometimes goes

I'll never leave a mark on you
Screaming as you bleed me dry
I'll never hate for the choices you chose
Though I'm always left wondering why

You're still the Filles Dela Roi
Even though you can't see through
The blur of hurt and life long lost
That I wish you never knew

I've already forgiven all of your your past
Overspent, wherever it went
I'll drown out heaven with my tears
And always know thats from where you were sent

I'll hold you as your frail heart aches
As it empties out all the bitter lies
And never forget how you came to me
Can a soul forget anothers cry?

You're still the Filles Dela Roi
Even though you can't see through
The blur of hurt and life long lost
That I wished you never knew

You did anything you wanted to them
Children grieve, make believe
What happens to all the ghosts that haunt you
I guess I'll just wait and have to see

I'll always cry when you cry with me
And hold you in my arms to sleep
Listening to a broken heart beating
Watching all the angels weep

You're still the Filles Dela Roi
Even though you can't see through
The blur of hurt and life long lost
That you wished you never knew
