Story of My Life

My life is not what it seems
Nor am I what I seem
I don't live the life you think I do
Instead, I live the life of a dream

See my life was taken from me
By somebody that said he loved me
But he only loved himself
And I was just too blind to see

My life went to Hell from then on
Wishing every part of me was gone
Why would God do this to me
Why not take my life and be done

Instead, I suffered with the pain
The pain of a broken heart
And a soul  I no longer knew
Why couldn't we have just stayed apart

Because he had a problem
And that problem was control
He had control of my life
And also of my soul

But no longer does he control me
Nor does he control my soul
My heart is still shattered
But once again it will be whole
