I remember daddy’s hands folded silently in prayer And reachin’ out to hold me, when I had a nightmare You could read quite a story in the callous’ and lines Years of work and worry had left their mark behind
I remember daddy’s hands how they held my mama tight And patted my back for something done right There are things that I’d forgotten that I loved about the man But I’ll always remember the love in daddy’s hands
Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin’ Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand There was always love in daddy’s hands
I remember daddy’s hands workin’ ’til they bled Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed If I could do things over, I’d live my life again And never take for granted the love in daddy’s hands
Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin’ Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand There was always love in daddy’s hands
Daddy’s hands were soft and kind when I was cryin’ Daddy’s hands were hard as steel when I’d done wrong Daddy’s hands weren’t always gentle but I’ve come to understand There was always love in daddy’s hands

More family issues. I am still trying to deal with the fallout. Sometimes Knowing that someone loves you is not enough to allow them to mistreat you. I recently had to cut off other family because at 49 I am still struggling with that idea. I no longer have space for those who can not respect my boundaries… No matter who they are. It does make me sad though.
I’ll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way, but I keep falling apart All that I see, is the wickedness around me I refuse to believe, the apocalypse inside of me I can’t even trust myself I’m burning in my skin Standing at the gates of hell, but nobody will let me in I’ll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way, but I keep falling apart I’ll follow you, with all of my heart I’m tired of my ways ’cause I keep falling, I’m falling apart I stand here again Forsaken in a place That feels like I can never win I’m reaching for a saving grace I can’t even trust no one I need to rise above I don’t think I’m good enough To feel your perfect love I’ll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way, but I keep falling apart I’ll follow you, with all of my heart I’m tired of my ways ’cause I keep falling, I’m falling apart I’m falling, I’m falling apart I’m falling, I’m falling apart I’m falling apart Your love’s a fire, it’s alive and I’m burning in it I’m in the ashes of mercy; I’m covered in it I fall hard and you carry me I fall apart so you can set me free Your love’s a fire, it’s alive and I’m burning in it I’m in the ashes of mercy; I’m covered in it I fall hard and you carry me I fall apart so you can set me free I’ll follow you out of the dark I tried it my way, but I keep falling apart I’ll follow you, with all of my heart I’m tired of my ways ’cause I keep falling, I’m falling apart I’m falling, I’m falling apart Without you, I’m falling, I’m falling apart I’m falling apart, I’m falling apart

My family is currently in the process of falling apart. I think it will be okay in the long term … but I’m here feeling torn. I want to follow my child and see what happens but I don’t want to move at the same time. I have some issues to deal with here once they have moved out…but I’m not going to be unable to be happy.
Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass You were the sweetest thing that I ever knew But I don’t care for sugar honey if I can’t have you Since you’ve abandoned me My whole life has crashed Won’t you pick the pieces up ‘Cause it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass The sun’s still shining in the big blue sky But it don’t mean nothing to me O-o-oh let the rain come down Let the wind blow through me I’m living in an empty room With all the windows smashed And I’ve got so little left to lose That it feels just like I’m walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass And if you’re trying to cut me down You know that I might bleed ‘Cause if you’re trying to cut me down I know that you’ll succeed And if you want to hurt me There’s nothing left to fear ‘Cause if you want to hurt me You do it really well my dear Now everyone of us was made to suffer Everyone of us is made to weep We’ve been hurting one another Now the pain has cut too deep So take me from the wreckage Save me from the blast Lift me up and take me back Don’t let me keep on walking (don’t let me keep on walking) I kept on walking on Keep on walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass Walking on, walking on broken glass

I feel like I’m terrible at communicating. Though I work with words and it should be simple…I don’t seem to be able to say anything right. This song hits too close to home with my ability to get my own thoughts to be understood.
Just let it go don’t wanna argue anymore I can’t be sure I know just what are we fighting for I know you’re scared and that you’re thinking I may go I’m not leaving I’m not leaving And if you’re thinking I might Might be led astray Just remember this one question What if I was nothing? What if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl? Nothing without you So, what if I was angry? What did you think I’d do? I told you that I love you, girl Nothing without you I know it’s hard it seems we’ve worked at this so long It’s often foolish pride that tells us we’re not wrong I hear your voice you tell me that you’ll never go And I believe it, I believe it And if you’re thinking I might Might be led astray Just remember this one question What if I was nothing? What if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl? Nothing without you So, what if I was angry? What did you think I’d do? I told you that I love you, girl Nothing without you We can keep this going on We’ll make it work some way And every step it makes us stronger every day (every day) And if you’re thinking I might Might be led astray (led astray) Just remember this one question What if I was nothing? What if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl? Nothing without you So, what if I was angry? What did you think I’d do? I told you that I love you, girl Nothing without you What if I was nothing? What if this is true? What if I was nothing, girl? Nothing without you So, what if I was angry? What did you think I’d do? I told you that I love you, girl Nothing without you
My 2 cents –
I think that this is so often how love feels…. and exactly how hard it is to explain.
If I can’t let you go, will darkness divide? For the fiction of love is the truth of our lies We were playing for keeps but we both knew the cost Now the only way out’s in your heart shaped box But I hate that it seems you were never enough We were broken and bleeding but never gave up And I hate that I made you the enemy And I hate that your heart was the casualty Now, I hate that I need you As we rest here alone like notes on a page The finest to compose could not play our pain With a candle through time I could still see your ghost But I can’t close my eyes, for it For it is there where you haunt me most Where you haunt me most I hate that it seems you were never enough We were broken and bleeding, but never gave up And I hope that I stain through your memory As we echo through time in the melody Now I hate that I need you And I hear you now when you said it hurt But it had to fall, fall apart to work As I see you now in what’s left of me Is it too late to plead insanity? ‘Cause I hate that it seems you were never enough Yeah, we’re broken and bleeding in the name of love And I hope that we meet in another life I hope that we meet in another life I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you) I don’t hate that I need you (I don’t hate that I need you) I don’t hate that I need you

Ever feel like you are watching something die, and you are helpless to stop it? Like you want to run but if you do you know that regret will drown you?… Yeah that’s what I hear and I fear drowning.
