The last year and a half I
|
Walked out on familiar faces
|
Had to cut some losses
|
Learned to never be complacent
|
I searched for some answers
|
But the bottle couldn't show them
|
Which took me to some places
|
I never should have been
|
I found that true friends may be
|
The ones you rarely hear from
|
'Cause many said they'd be here
|
But now they can't be found
|
|
Learning sometimes means soul searching
|
There are no words to calm that kind of hurting
|
I never considered myself fortunate
|
Bowing to circumstance
|
Searching where to place the blame
|
Selling myself short
|
Looked right in the mirror
|
Faced down all my fears
|
I will rise above
|
|
The endless thoughts that fed
|
The sleepless nights repeating
|
Almost let me give up the only hope I ever had
|
Trusting too swiftly can end up being costly
|
Because many people fooled me
|
Maybe I just wanted to believe
|
|
Learning sometimes means soul searching
|
There are no words to calm that kind of hurting
|
I never considered myself fortunate
|
Bowing to circumstance
|
Searching where to place the blame
|
Selling myself short
|
Looked right in the mirror
|
Faced down all my fears
|
I will rise above
|
|
The world can be so cold
|
When you step into the unknown
|
The streets all look familiar
|
This multiplies the danger
|
There is one thing that's for certain
|
There's no one you can count on
|
The change occurs inside you
|
Got to make your own way
|
|
I survived
|
Faced down all my fears
|
I will rise above
|
|
Bowing to circumstance
|
Searching where to place the blame
|
Selling myself short
|
Looked right in the mirror
|
Faced down all my fears
|
I will rise above
|
|
Bowing to circumstance [I never considered]
|
Searching where to place the blame [myself fortunate]
|
Selling myself short [rise above]
|
Looked right in the mirror [I never considered]
|
Faced down all my fears [myself fortunate]
|
I will rise above
|
