I tried not to damage you
To take away your glow
The purity rising up
From your beautiful soul
I tried to shelter you
To take away your pain
The rain pouring down
Into each and everything
I tried to keep you
To hold you close to me
Just for my own needs
Just to do what I please
I tried to love you
As long as I could
As much as I should
As any mother would
I tried not to forget you
Even when you left me
You were so beautiful
But I had to set you free
To take away your glow
The purity rising up
From your beautiful soul
I tried to shelter you
To take away your pain
The rain pouring down
Into each and everything
I tried to keep you
To hold you close to me
Just for my own needs
Just to do what I please
I tried to love you
As long as I could
As much as I should
As any mother would
I tried not to forget you
Even when you left me
You were so beautiful
But I had to set you free
