Seeing in a film
That someone says
"It was not your fault"
Years ago the same sentence made me cry
Now I stayed calm
Knowing there are many ways
To make the tears dry

Lately I blame myself
For talking about my life
I should have kept my past on a shelf
Now I caused myself strife
If I had kept things a secret
I would not have had this regret

My past was not my fault
No matter what other people tell me
I could not stop the assault
I was not as strong as I had to be
My present is a whole different story
In being honest, there was no glory

The things that happened to me
Were already shameful enough
People don't want to see
Some did even laugh
Shame, pain, tears
They all did not matter
People made my fears
Become reality

Nobody left to honestly say
"It wasn't your fault"
So I make my tears dry
Make nobody see I cry
Because for them to know my past
Was and is my fault!
