“Over the Cradle” by @HollowFrontOfficial is taken of their album, The Fear of Letting Go, out now. Pre-order/Stream: Filmed/edited by: Ned Ingalls Assisted by: Jason Caudill Song produced, mixed and mastered by: Lee Albrecht I was a child Born to be broken I had everything Except words unspoken I didn’t see you for months Even though you lived so near Too distracted By your own world to even care Raised by anyone I felt neglected You were my mother Raised by anyone I felt abandoned For being different And I know you had tried your best But it was never good enough You don’t know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you were never there And I’m tired of this pain (I’m choosing to forgive) And I’m tired of this hate in me (But I’ll never forget) You don’t know the effect That you had on me I see now the worst parts of me came from you But I can’t seem to shake this fractured view I fear I’m as selfish as you were And one day my kids will resent me too You were supposed to keep me safe Instead you were too wrapped up In your own faith And I can safely say I’m proud Of the person you are today But you used to let me down Is it too hard to hear me say? You don’t know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you were never there And I’m tired of this pain (I’m choosing to forgive) And I’m tired of this hate in me (But I’ll never forget) You don’t know the effect That you had on me You gave me life But you never taught me how to live Somehow I survived In the end we all pay for our sins Mom, I want you to know You are not who you were before And even though it seems I can’t let it go I forgave you a long time ago You gave me life But you never taught me how to live Somehow I survived In the end we’ll all pay for our sins #UNFD #hollowfront
