I Climbed For Miles

Can I whisper something in your in ear?
I'm so afraid for you.
I feel all of this guilt for leaving you here,
but I just don't know what to do.
I adore you from the bottom of my soul.
You changed my life in every way,
and I know I won't be satisfied with how they care for you.
But I'll be thinking of you every day.
You have to be strong, you have to be so strong.
I wish you could make me such a promise.
But you're so young, you're just so fucking young
that you can't even fathom the importance
of this hand of cards you've been dealt.
When I leave,
it's all up to you.
Your heart is made of solid gold.
Your family is as good as gone, my love.
I have to believe you will break the mold.
Baby it's not easy work at all,
but it's worth every breath, I promise you.
And I promise I'll be here for you
when you decide to make a break for it.
See that's the thing with family;
you leap to save and you leap to escape,
but if you stay on the winding path,
the elements will surely take back what's theirs.
Just come to me, come to me if you get scared.
I wish you could make me such a promise.
But you're so young, You're just so fucking young.
I hope to god you can tell the difference
between right and wrong,
when it comes down to it.
Your heart is made of solid gold.
When you come down to it.
And your family is as good as gone,
that's why I have to believe you'll break the mold.
Because I climbed for miles and now I'm freefalling.
I jumped down from the rocks and into the ocean.
Now I'm swimming for the shore,
and they'll never ever ever catch me.
I had the sun against me, now the waves behind me.
