Thank You from Bygones by Jade Mia Broadhead

Thank you for getting me this far
Nobody could have done it but you
Though I’ll never ever call you by your name
I’ll remember how you found a way through

Thank you for the blood you pumped to my heart
Without you I could not have survived
You kept the breath flowing through my lungs
Now I don’t just exist I thrive

(Chorus)
I thank you
I respect you
I love you
I release you

I’ve spent so long resenting you
Wasted time and energy I don’t have
Now I realise you did all you could
The things in you I thought were bad were good

I see photos of a girl trying to be a man
I have memories of a child so lost and scared
I have aches and pains from all the miles you ran
But now I win because it was he who dared
