I finally see the truth behind this life and lie youve built
You brought me into this world to fill me up with guilt
I wake up every single day trying to hold on to my breath
Im sick and tired of breathing, I dont care about the rest
What does love mean really? Sadly I just dont know
Growing up in my life....I had nothing to show
except for bruises and scars all over my body
Im surprised Im still alive, with all this shit God put on somebody
I lived my life to learn 1 thing and I share that thing today
I know this bullshit gets hard sometimes but everything will be ok
Sometimes you just have to lie to yourself
just to keep on holding on
When youve been beat and broken down
You write these sad, sad songs
Thats all I ever knew but I hope that it all changes
I went from gutter broke, to seeing spotlights where my name is
But still sometimes it hurts inside
for what theyve put me through
Sure you think you know me now, but its time to tell the truth
The truth about my life without all the glitz and glamour
I starved myself to death one time, and then I got beat with a hammer
Then when I was only 12 they put me in the slammer
I used to rob and break in houses, I did what I had to do
I didnt give a fuck about life and used to always act a fool
but looking back now on all those things it wasnt all my fault
I had no one to love me ever....so I put my life on a screeching halt
Yet for some odd reason I came out of it alive
Today I am a positive woman all I do is strive
I strive to be a better person I want a better life
So that one day I can settle down and call myself a wife
I dont want to feel this pain no more
This is as much as a human can take
You think Ive had all this luck and have eaten all my cake?
Well think again before you judge someone
You may think that its fun
But look into my deep dark eyes
Youll see the other side.
I been through shit and back and then sometimes back again
The hardest thing in this life is to hold on the best I can
To come this far and be successful from where I was before
I am absolutely filled with gratitude...I love God forever more
If it werent for my inner strength I would have gone long ago
But still I have a few more things to do...a few more years to go
You may look at my pretty pictures and see my pretty face
but behind all of that beauty...lies an empty heart that lost its place
I want to say all of this to you because you are all my friends
I just want to put the truth out there open heart and make amends
Im not afraid to put this out there as only God can judge me
You have your right to say what you want, but that wont go above me
This message is for all of you out there who suffer immensely too
I know that shit gets hard sometimes.....but just hold on and youll get through
Im a fine example so dont think that its a lie
You are the only love I know.....you all make time go by...
