Crypled Lyric, Spelling On Purpose

Crippled from my childhood memories, and a past riddled in agony and pain; I grew up confused of who I was, and wondered if I was insane. Crippled in my turbulent teenage years, by the awkwardness of being shy; I was so embarrassed of who I was, that I really just wanted to die. Crippled in my first relationship, she hated her time with me; She dropped me without a parachute, another loser in a barren sea. Crippled in my last try at marriage, she had her own agenda from the start; She stole two boys I loved so dear, and left me with a broken heart. Crippled from the lack of self respect, that I almost ended it all; But just as I threw myself of the cliff, God caught me in mid-fall. Crippled by guilt and unworthiness, as he held me before his face; I let him have my heart that day, when he embraced me in his grace.
