Christine
You brought me to your world
just a helpless little girl
took my precious freedom away
You read your words to me
and sang your songs to me
and somehow convinced me to stay
You wouldn't show your face
you hid your dark disgrace
though you forced mine be revealed
You kept your walls around you
your defenses forever surround you
tried not to allow yourself to feel
When I tried to get to know
what it was you wouldn't show you
pushed me to the floor
In this trustless home you brought me to
where you claimed a love forever true
I couldn't know what was in store
Though I felt your hard oppression
I didn't see your blind obsession
I didn't know the reason why
Why you acted toward me so heartless
why I was kept in eternal darkness
why you seemed to want to die
You taught me angels' songs
and I learned to forgive the wrongs
I learned to feel your pain
I lost my longing to be restored
to the world I knew before
I felt a love I couldn't feign
For the man you were inside
a man who in darkness tried to hide
from his life so filled with sorrow
But you couldn't hide forever
from this world you tried to sever
always waiting for tomorrow
And the day the pain's removed
when God would take you above and prove
you weren't forsaken on this earth
But you fell in love with me
your heart hadn't forgot to see
what love and beauty was worth
You tried to keep me with you always
tried to take my love the wrong way
when all you had to do
Was put your trust in me
allow me just to see
what the pain had put you through
Then finally came the day
when forever I would stay
but your heart had come to know
That I couldn't live in your dark night
that I was destined for the light
so, in love, you let me go
