Song That Saved My Life
When I first went to SW High school
I thought everything was going to be cool
New school, new life
Everything was supposed to be alright
But it wasn’t much different from GP high
I knew the problem was me
And why I always get talked about and teased
Girls get jealous of my beauty and personality
That was something I knew but didn’t want to believe
I try to stay humble
There is always somebody better than me
I would pray every day and every night
Thought about cutting myself with a knife
Was still making bad grades
Couldn’t focus no matter how hard I tried
Distractions every day
I would get frustrated, go to the bathroom and cry
The problems I have at home wouldn’t help
Gave up in life and wanted to kill myself
Just when I planned to commit suicide
The song by Shawn Mullins come on called Lullaby.
I guess God heard my cry
Song played on the radio and saved my life
I thank God I made it and I’m alive
