Breakaway...
If I could have been there from the beginning...if I could be there right now... /
if I could promise to be there when you need me, would it raise an eyebrow? /
How would your body be different if I still dropped by for visits? /
Is it my place to put a smile on your face? /
Could I erase your body language telling you its all been said before? /
Or change the words you wrote, exchanging your scars for my metaphors? /
I'd add them to my collection while smiling. /
Next time you want to paint with razor blades and need a canvas use my skin. /
If I could have been there from the beginning...
