It Took Me by Surprise lyrics

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 knowing 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-

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
