Lyrics Set for the Fall - Gave It All

I can hear the gun that stole my life away
Twenty-three years of agonizing pain
Lost a mother sister and brothers
Only to find myself alone and so afraid
I can feel the scars that my father made
Ripped to shreds with his buckle everyday
Forced to love him, I couldn’t trust him
I only wished I could have run so far away

Let it go, that’s what they said
I didn’t know, that’s what they meant
So let it go, that’s what they said

Chorus
So I gave it all up to you
You’re the only one who knows me
Gave it all up to you
So I will never be lonely

I hit the bottom my friends began to leave
I had it all or so it may have seemed
Cost of living without forgiving
I deserved all this pain and misery
I forgot myself and drowned myself in shame
Riddled with doubt and no one left to blame
I had nothing no one could love me
Filled with anger I was only eighteen
Let it go, that’s what they said
I didn’t know, that’s what they meant
So let it go, that’s what they said
