I created this story song video about what happens when one divorces a narcissist to talk about mental health a little bit.
Standing here outside these walls
Keys won't work anymore
Tried to make it back in time
But everything's changed
And I know what they all say
That I walked away
They drew their lines in black and white
Made me the villain of their night
But baby please try to see
They painted me as something I'm not
Made me out to be what I'm not
I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away
Court rooms filled with twisted words
Accusations flying wild and free
Too young to know how to fight
Too scared to stand
When they pushed me to the ground
I couldn't understand
The truth got buried in the storm
Of voices tearing me apart
But darling, can't you see
They painted me as something I'm not
Made me out to be what I'm not
I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away
Yes, I was naïve
Should have been stronger
Should have fought harder
But I'm not the monster they claimed
I'm just a mother who lost her way
Now I'm trying to explain
Through all these years of pain
How circumstances pulled us apart
But my love stayed true
Even when I couldn't reach you
My heart never left
They painted me as something I'm not
Made me out to be what I'm not
I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away Never meant to slip away
Standing here outside these walls
Keys won't work anymore
Tried to make it back in time
But everything's changed
And I know what they all say
That I walked away
They drew their lines in black and white
Made me the villain of their night
But baby please try to see
They painted me as something I'm not
Made me out to be what I'm not
I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away
Court rooms filled with twisted words
Accusations flying wild and free
Too young to know how to fight
Too scared to stand
When they pushed me to the ground
I couldn't understand
The truth got buried in the storm
Of voices tearing me apart
But darling, can't you see
They painted me as something I'm not
Made me out to be what I'm not
I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away
Yes, I was naïve
Should have been stronger
Should have fought harder
But I'm not the monster they claimed
I'm just a mother who lost her way

I was just lost and afraid (Lost and afraid)
Never meant to slip away Never meant to slip away
