And you knew

I tried to put the pieces back together by myself,
Don't you know i tried?
I had been so angry with you so long.
And i couldn't just accept the reason why.
I never thought i would say this,
i had hated you all along
I tried to be good
you know the perfect child
who knew it could be so hard?
I prayed to you
I had asked for your forgiveness
And all i felt was.......
Anger and pain
I didn't understand
What i was doing wrong
So i stopped trying
That's when you took my hand
you helped me pick up the pieces
and lay them out right,
Almost like you already knew.
I thought i would feel hurt
That i had need your help to do something i couldn't
Instead i felt joy and laughter filling my heart
Finnally i could stop trying
stop trying to do things all on my own
I tried putting the pieces back together on my own,
and some how you knew.
