Untitled
Waking up every morning with this great fear and burden on my heart
Waking up every morning wanting to tear my heart apart
Speaking to the enemy at church and on the phone
I get this feeling of dread while I'm at home
At one point in my life I was wishing I could just escape from this treacherous
world
Wishing and hoping that my world would stop twirling
At one point in my life it was changing dramatically
I felt like no one could see me
I wasn't always the center of attention
But my life was racing so fast, I was about to have a head-on-collision
Scared of my past, I let my past define
Scared of my present, I let other people define me
Crying black tears that no one could see
Crying black tears that came from the depths within me
As the tears fell down from my cheek, thoughts of suicide started to slip in
Not knowing what to do I started to give in
With the people around me caring for me deeply
They didn't let me give in and now I'm starting to see me
Life changing as it may seem this is everything that 's happened to me
Life changing as it may seem I didn't let these things get the best of me
