The Day I Left

Twenty square meters five lives inside
No space to breathe nowhere to hide
Two little sisters dreams so small
Parents worn down giving their all
Days stretched long nights felt tight
No escape no end in sight
Unemployed lost in my head
Living with ghosts of words unsaid

She asked me to clean just a simple task
But rage burned fast I didnt look back
A foolish heart a blinded mind
Thinking freedom was what I'd find
**ខ្ទខនាងទុហ៉ាយ**
*I walked away*

The day I left I thought I was free
No more walls no one to need me
But silence followed cold and wide
Regret hit hard no place to hide
I slammed the door left love behind
A foolish boy too proud too blind
I never thought I'd miss her face
But home's a wound time wont erase

No job no plan nights felt long
I learned too late where I belonged
The world was harsh no arms to hold
I missed her warmth when nights got cold
I saw my sisters their eyes still bright
While I was drowning in my fight
They never judged they never blamed
But I knew I'd caused my mother pain

She asked me to clean just a simple task
But rage burned fast I didnt look back
A foolish heart a blinded mind
Thinking freedom was what I'd find
** ខ្ទខនាងទុហ៉ាយ**
*I walked away*

The day I left I thought I was free
No more walls no one to need me
But silence followed cold and wide
Regret hit hard no place to hide
I slammed the door left love behind
A foolish boy too proud too blind
I never thought I'd miss her face
But home's a wound time wont erase

Years have passed I see it now
How love was there though I pushed it out
She wasnt cruel she wasnt wrong
She held us up she made us strong
If I could turn rewind that day
Id stay Id clean Id find a way
But life moves on we learn too late
The cost of pride the weight of fate

I walked away I lost my way
But she still loves me anyway
Her voice still echoes soft and deep
A mothers love too strong to leave
