It Took Me By Surprise

I would react badly to the slightest hint of hesitance
 
 He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood, no word from his defense
 I'd cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin
 Pushed every little button but the right one that would let me in
 Now he's afraid of me
 He's afraid of me
 It took me by surprise
 The hatred in his eyes
 I've pushed this man as far as he could go
 But he lacked the words to let me know
 He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

 I made changes that went unnoticed, sang songs for deaf ears, he
 
 Mistook my silence for punishment as it had been all these years
 
 I'd cry knowingly how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin
 Now he's afraid of me
 He's afraid of me
 It took me by surprise
 The hatred in his eyes
 I've pushed this man as far as he could go
 But he lacked the words to let me know
 He acted out, now I can-
 It took me by surprise
 The hatred in his eyes
 I've pushed this man as far as he could go
 But he lacked the words to let me know
 He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
