I Am Taking My Life Back

I gave you my heart and you broke it
You made our relationship crack
You made me give you all of me
Now I am taking my life back

You don’t deserve my heart
You don’t deserve my love
I know this, because I gave it all
But to you it wasn’t enough

I still cry myself to sleep at night
“God help me” I do pray
I may forever love you
But I am taking back my life today

I am taking back my life
Though you left it broken
You will realize that I am really gone
When in years to you I haven’t spoken

I have to pick up every piece
Of my life you left shattered
But my life I’m taking back
Because to you it didn’t matter

Overthinking all the hurt you caused
And all the things you said
I am broken into pieces
But I am taking my life back

You have no more chances 
I ain’t cutting you some slack
I will fix my life on my own
Yes, I am taking my life back

You will only wonder what could have been
When I’m done fixing every crack
It won’t be easy, it may take a while
But my life I’m taking back

A while from now you will look at me
Wishing there was something you could say
It will be too late
Because I am taking back my life today

Eric Boddie Date: 8/30/2015 10:34:00 AM take it back and keep it this time....until your true Love arrives, God Will Give A Sign....and if you Build Around Him, you will always be together....Love is a difficult struggle, but God's Version Lasts Forever....;) Login to Reply BE Bailey Date: 10/21/2015 6:53:00 AM Thank you so so much for your motivational and touching words Eric. I absolutely love the part where you say one have to build your relationship around God and I solely believe that that is how it should be. My favorite part is "God's Version Lasts Forever". My True love did arrive. I have know him for 11 years, but I trust that God made me notice him at the right time and I am so happy. Hugs "B"
