It Took Me By Surprise Lyrics - Viktoria - Maria Mena

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
