Wrong Song

Wrong Song I don't know this song and it sounds so wrong, Trying to remember but it's been too long, it's gone. Frustration sets in and I don't know where I've been, Panic-stricken, I'm falling apart, I can't do this again. A cloud of Doom all around me, I look up to see no light, Hiding in the shadows so not to be seen, waiting for the night. Bowing my head in shame, running like some old scarred rat, Please I pray, must my life turn out to be just exactly like that. Why didn't I know that song and why did it sound so wrong, Seriously I ask, are you telling me it's really been that long. Age is upon me and time is surely no friend of mine, It is scary to think I have become so Damn Blind. I fear there will be nothing for me but this misery, Nobody around but strangers, there will be no sympathy. I see clearly in the reflections of me, my life is shattered, Living the life the way I did, as if nothing mattered. My soul has been bled out, leaving this shell of a man, On my knees, I beg Please let me stay as long as I can. Just a little longer, so I can do all of this over, I will do it right and promise to forever be sober. A child of the times, it was okay back in the day, I am asking for forgiveness, what else can I say. Soon my eyes will close, A long time since I've had rest, Wondering if I'll see tomorrow, is this my final test. Lord is all in your hands and I know you have plans, Please I pray, give me that chance to be a better man. I should have known that song, Tha's what was wrong. tac
