Verba Stellae - Left Behind (w/ intro) Lyrics

Looking back
I remember the day
All my emotions
Overwhelm me
Still strong enough
To knock me down

When you left me behind
And never look back to see
The man I became
The person I'd turn out to be
When you left me behind
And never looked back to see
The innocence lost
The life that you've robbed from me

I grew up cold and alone
I built up these walls
That you couldn't knock down
I let my anger fuel my rage
I was left to feel like a rat in a cage

When you left me behind
And never looked back to see
The man I became
The person I turned out to be
When you left me behind
And never looked back to see
The innocence lost
The life that you robbed from me

And everyday I see your face in the mirror
A constant reminder of
Who I am and where I came from
A promise to myself not to be like you
And do what you do

Now that I have children of my own... (Alone)
And they will not know you
(They will not know)
Cause I have outgrown you
(I have outgrown)
And they will not know you
(They will not know)
Cause I have outgrown you

When I left you behind
And never looked back to see
The monster you were
The life that you robbed from me
When I left you behind
And never looked back to see
I'm worth so much more
And knowing that, I am free
