Powerless

Lyrics

My head is spinning
Minutes turn into endless nights
Tears burn behind my eyes
I want to fall to my knees and scream for help
The tears are flowing
Intense heartache
The feeling of failure, I've left my child all alone
The tension at home was too high, I tiptoed around and kept a brave face
Other children demanding attention
It was too much, not just for you, but for me and everyone else at home
With my back against the wall, between two fires
I feel so damn alone... Alone with my heartache and numb with pain
The feeling that the sun will never shine the same way again
This has broken me and changed me forever
Will you ever forgive me for not being able to give you the safety you needed
From bad to worse, where you are now is so much worse
Will you ever get over this
Know that I love you from the top of my head to the tips of my toes
But love alone wasn't enough, I didn't know what else to do
So incredibly powerless
I've begged countless institutions for help, only received the bare minimum, years have passed
Where did it go wrong, what did I do wrong
I thought I had carried you often and given you enough love
Is it the breakdown between me and your father after all
I so desperately want to listen to you if you would let me in, dear Melissa, please come back into my arms
For now, I feel numb and I keep going...Powerless
