Only One Wish

I've spent my life hiding from myself

Let's take the long way back
And savor this as a reminder
You're like a looking glass
You're smarter, stronger, wiser, kinder

My dear don't bury away your loss and pain
The roots that grow will slowly suffocate
Everything that remains

It's not fair to make you my reason to live
I should have gotten help and I never did
If am left with only one wish
It's that you won't grow up and feel like this
