Stand in your Truth Always

♫ Enya - May it be ( lyrics ) ♫

I never meant to hurt you

I tried

But at the risk of not honouring myself

I stayed longer than I should

This has only hurt you more

 

All because I did not want to hurt you

I hoped for better times

And wanted to believe we could work this through

 

I do not want to change you

We are who we are

It was clear to me

I was not the one for you

 

I tried to tell you over and over

But you wouldn’t let me go

 

It’s not that I did not care

I stayed too long because I cared

But in the end it only proved

It did you more harm than good

 

How can I be true to you

If I cannot stay true to myself

I had to stay true to me

Only then could I be truly true to you

 

Truth can be painful

And it tears me apart that I have hurt you

It was so clear to me

It is not meant to be

 

Grasping holding onto something

So tightly for fear of losing it

Only ends up pushing it further from your grasp

Suffocating the very thing you love most

 

There comes a time when the differences between us

Seem impossible to heal

When joy is sucked from our being

It is then that we have to face the reality

We are not meant to be

 

This is not about blame

This is not about who is right or who is wrong

This is about letting go and honouring yourself

Standing in your truth

 

I honour myself first and foremost

How can I possibly honour you

If I cannot honour myself first

Even though I knew this would hurt you deeply

I would only hurt you more if I had stayed

To stay would be to dishonour not only myself but to dishonour you also

 

Honour yourself always

Be who you are

Stand tall and proud

 

I wish you all the love and joy in the world

 

We are not meant to be
