Secrets With Vodka
This bottle of vodka has me ready to share my secrets
I left my heart broke instead of trying to repair the pieces
Anxiety makes me over think so the smallest issues seem insurmountable
I make a lot of mistakes and hold myself accountable
I hope I get a chance to over do my wrongs
Never had a shoulder to cry on
Just a pad to write on
Growing up I never had a dad to rely on
He wasn't there when I had my first crush or to teach me how to act on a first date
Sitting in the children's home wishing he'd pick up the phone to wish me a happy birthday
Most kids crave presents, but I craved my mum and dads presence
My dad didn't tell me he loved me one time before he left the world to go to heaven
He passed away 5 days before I turned 15 but I was used to him not being around
He was one of the main reasons I had scars bleeding out
Social workers told me I'd be dead by 21 because I was reckless
Sleeping with girls and not staying for breakfast
Not caring if they had boyfriends that made it better for me
Because I got them in bed knowing they can't get together with me
I'm 25 now I wasn't supposed to make it this far
I've said too much, I wasn't supposed to take it this far
Chantal I'll always miss you, and you'll always have a special place in my heart
Pain I have to live with, I'm used to it so I don't bother trying to erase my scars
When you come from a background of heartache, Pain, and betrayal it's hard to be positive
But I'm real with my thoughts and share it all
Because I'd rather bite the bullet than spend my life dodging it
I won't lose hope of finding my way out of the maze even when i'm lost in it
Depression had me in a chokehold, but I'll come out on top of it
These are just a few reasons why my hearts broken, but I don't need to repair the pieces
Sorry but this Vodka made me share my secrets
