I didn't know who I really was
So i didn't tell the truth
And you knew that I was lieing
You just didn't have the proof
Someone should've pulled my card
But they didn't see the use
Always trying to place the blame
Because I needed an excuse
I wish I may
I wish I might
Please be careful what you say
I thought I wanted something else
But then I lost my way
I was surrounded by the darkness
Praying for a brighter day
Idle hands is where the Devil really likes to play
Im broken from the trauma
And the pain won't leave me be
Life lessons gave me answers
I was still to blind to see
Im in a mental prison
Lock me up and lose the key
And when I'm finally dead and gone my friend
It's then that I'll be free
It took me many years
Just to look into a mirror
The reflection of a stranger
But atleast I see it clear
I try really hard to listen
Because there's things I need to hear
And when I think about the ones I've lost
At night I shed a tear
Im on my knees and praying
God please help to guide the way
Then the sun just started rising
And I see a brighter day
Now i know that I can do it right
So im not going to fail
Im on the boat
Its leaving now
It's time for me to sail
