I Know What He Did To Me

Based On: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

I dream of taking your place
And you taking mine
I dream of a change
To make you feel this pain of mine

You silenced me
Now you question me
Yes I committed the crime 
You dare to think I did

Behind the eyes of an empath
Lie the eyes of a jealous man
So afraid of drifting to the deep end
He'd rather never get his feet wet

He reads me like the Bible
Looking for answers to my survival
He thinks he knows how to tame my grief
But I know what he did to me

I painted you as a villain
Saving me from a burning building
Now I paint you as a coward
So afraid of never getting answers

You silenced me
You speak on behalf of me
Aren't you afraid of the rage
You so badly instilled in me

Behind the eyes of an empath
Lie the eyes of a jealous man
So afraid of drifting to the deep end
He'd rather never get his feet wet

He reads me like the Bible
Looking for answers to my survival
He thinks he knows how to tame my grief
But I know what he did to me

So clouded by your eternal purpose
I once was a savior like you
So hard to understand
How a tragedy shapes the hand
You play with the desire to lose
That happens when you reach rock bottom
With no real want to reach the top
So you end up in the deep end
With only me as your friend

Behind the eyes of an empath
Lie the eyes of a jealous man
So afraid of drifting to the deep end
He'd rather never get his feet wet

He reads me like the Bible
Looking for answers to my survival
He thinks he knows how to tame my grief
But I know what he did to me

He likes to play the violin
Sad tunes to get you crying
He thinks he knows how to tame grief
But only I know what he did to me.
