lyrics

Though you didn’t come after me,
I could tell this chapter was ending the story
We needed you to care and be self-aware

Though you didn’t apologize,
I forgave you, hoping you’d open your eyes
There is a man you could’ve become who learns how to love

Cause you’re lost potential, and you’ll never be
More than lost potential, nearly dead to me

When you threw her clothes into the street
When you hurt her and thought no one would remember
When you controlled her time, you destroyed your own life

And your secret’s not safe with me
Through the eyes of a child it resurrects around you
And now the plodding of time
Will slowly take your life

Cause you’re lost potential, and you’ll never be
More than lost potential, nearly dead to me

And you haven’t tried to make it right
To a casual observer, you’re doing just fine
We see you’re not the same, your pride furthers your pain

And I gather you were hurt yourself
As a child, a teen, a line of destruction
But it doesn’t excuse the abuser you’ve been
You became what you hated

Potential, and you’ll never be,
More than lost potential, nearly dead to me
Cause you’re lost potential, and you’ll never be
More than lost potential, nearly dead to me
