The Lost Me
I've been so lost for so long
that I've lost my way home,
tried to find love in other strangers
and putting myself in danger,
drank myself into oblivion
to the point where I can't see,
now I'm looking for a light
I'm looking for me.
It's easy to say I'm okay when
everyone else can't see,
the hardest part is being alone
cause' i'm missing who I used to be,
and I don't think she'll ever come back now
the girl I knew is gone,
I've taken her life and replaced it with mine
how can I possibly go on?
she was happy and kind
had the whole world to find,
but somewhere along the way,
she bumped into me
and now she can't see,
I've taken her sight away
there were bumps in the road
I wouldn't let her avoid
made her fall almost everytime,
now there's no going back
what I did's in the past,
I have to pay for my crime.
My confession.
My truth.
