I can't believe

I can't believe I ended up here
My eyes begin to fill with tears
As I think about all of my shame 
There's only one person I can blame

I can't believe I lasted this long
In my heart I know I'm strong
As I tried to numb all of my pain 
I realized there wasn't anything to gain
All it did was make things worse 
I was really close to ending up in a Hearse

I can't believe a man made me this hurt
Then began to grab my name through the dirt
In the end everything fell apart
And I had to pick up the pieces of My broken heart

I can't believe I let things go this far 
When I think about it now it's so bizarre 
That chapter of my life had to die 
So I could move forward I had to try 
To continue going on a different path
Don't cross me now or you'll feel my wrath

I can't believe I'm finally putting this all behind
one things for sure I'll never rewind
My life has a whole new perception 
As I walk along this road to Redemption 

I can't believe I finally turned my life around
The woman I thought was lost was finally found
Now I stand tall on this solid ground
The changes in my world feel so profound

I can't believe I started this whole new chapter 
My daily medicine now is constant laughter
It took me a long time to get where I'm at today
All those nights I use to sit and pray 

I can't believe God was really listening
Then I look up at the sky and I see the sun glistening
Everyday I realize I'm really blessed
No more staying awake at night because I'm stressed

I can't believe I have no more racing thoughts 
The peace I feel now cannot be bought
I finally live my life just letting things be
Because I'm finally becoming the best version of me
