Begged, Stolen and Borrowed

I don't havea clue where I'll be tomorrow,
Feel I'm living on time begged, stolen and borrowed.
This path I am on as it twists and it turns,
Has me searching for answers,
Yet, finding more questions,
And very hard lessons to learn.

The me that I was, no longer exists,
The world that defined me, no longer is.
Everything's gone, it has all disappeared,
In the blink of an eye, I alone stand here.

Each moment now a cruel facade,
Of a life I knew, of a world that was.
The people, the places all gone away,
And I wish to God I could please buy back yesterday.

So my journey continues as I slowly move on,
Destiny has dealt her fate.
Leaving me broken, and oh, so alone,
In a shattered, confused state.

I don't have a clue where I'll be tomorrow,
Feel I'm living on time begged, stolen and borrowed.
