Stolen Joy

There. I've done it once again.

Let get beneath my skin.

And you steal away my joy.

I've let you in

To steal away my joy.

I've let you 

Come too close and touch me

Where I'm broken most.

It ached

-This broken piece of me,

Only shattered more by a touch

That will never linger.

And now you know.

You have to know

Where lies my greatest flaw,

And so you sneak right in

To steal and destroy

My hope and my joy.

Hope and joy.

Why did I let you take them?

Why did I let you

Have this power over me?

No, you won't steal anymore

Than what I've let you steal.

You won't take away our memory.

Your face won't replace

The one I know and love.

You've changed,

But that doesn't mean she has

-- That girl,

The one inside my memory.

She wouldn't take my joy,

And so I take it back.

And I won't let you

Ever sneak beneath my skin.

I have room for a memory,

But there's no room for you.
