Parenthetical Girls - Stolen Children lyrics

Were that i the one that died in place of you Rather then prematurely paralyzed by you Would you have worn your grief like laurels bestowed upon you This useless gravity still felt by all but you You know that i wouldn't mind, i must have lied a thousand times And how i wanted to die just to sanctify my strife And as that i'm being honest, this is all that i wanted most of the time Could i offer up the years i spent resenting you For the nine years of my life that went to lay with you On the ground above you i'd lie, so solemnly contrite And i can finally forgive you, for everytime you saved my life We may have both came unwanted, but you were all that she wanted most of the time Through all the years i casually exploited you And still it never occured to me i was approaching you Or that the last six years of my life were overtaking you With an indifference divine My life down i will lie, you were only a kid then Just one of god's stolen children Blessed with less time
