Ally

Ally We were two little girls in a world gone cold Holding hands in the dark, doing what we were told Mama cried behind doors, Daddy drank through the nights We learned to survive, but we forgot to hold on tight You were the strong one, I wore all the blame I acted out loud, you buried the pain We wanted a home, but it was never quite whole So we built up our walls just to cover the pain But you’re still half of my heart, half of my name Even if we don’t speak, we still bleed the same We were born into storms, never given a chance But I still see that girl in your sideways glance Yeah, you’re half of my story, half of my scars Even when love feels like pulling apart You’re still half of my heart We tried different roads just to find some peace But anger runs deep when you never feel free I miss your laugh, but I don’t say a word Guess silence is safer than getting hurt I kept your letters, those birthday cards Even when they stopped coming, I kept them in jars And I pray you forgive me for the things I’ve done We both did the best with what we were running from ‘Cause you’re still half of my heart, half of my soul Even if time’s made us strangers or cold We were born into storms, but you were my light Even when wrong felt more honest than right You’re still half of my story, half of my scars Even when love feels like pulling apart You’re still half of my heart If you ever come knocking, I’ll open the door ‘Cause no matter the silence, I’ll love you more You’re still… half of my heart
