facing this life, no fear of failure or pain
it wasn't right to let you take up all of me
I'll take control hold me responsible
Most of the time I was nowhere to be found
made all my exits through the back door
and then I sat ashamed, alone and hated myself to the bones
but that's no way to live
cut out the grudges and the envy
find a way to be
there's more than one way to be happy
Like the trees bend with the wind, go with the weather
You can never change what's been, it was probably for the better
One step closer to giving up it's in your family, it's in your blood
You keep holding on too much
Give up or grow strong but lose the guilt
The struggle in your head is as real as you let it
Don't hide in shame cause l cant carry all your pain
Frustration kicking in
The hardest part is to reset, let go and to begin
It's the same conversation over and over
Let's talk again when you're sober
You got every reason to be proud
Face everything that tries to shut you out
You got every right to take my hand
Do your remember when, learn to feel again
Don't let the judgement of others break you apart
Only you can validate who you are
