Through My Eyes (Bonus Track)
CHORUS:
If you step into my shoes maybe then you’ll see the path I’m on
If you see it through my eyes maybe then you’ll see I’m not that strong
Only then can you know
Only then will it show
VERSE 1:
I try - I try so hard, but it seems I’m always trying to fight these demons off
And I pray just to make it through the night
Hoping that I’ll be alright
That things will come out in the light
But it seems like everything’s always going against me
Don’t get me wrong, I make sure that I count my blessings
But I can’t deal with all this mediocre bullshit
I’m never quite sure that I’m built to get through all of this
I keep hoping what I’m doing makes a difference
Put all of my heart in it
Get it broken next minute
Sometimes I think I just give too much of myself
Even when I’m in hell
And can’t find a way out
I could be standing on the ledge looking over the edge
Trying to figure out where the hell my peaceful life went
But no one will ever know
Cuz I don't really let it show
Until I feel like I'm just ready to go
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
It’s not the first time I’ve stared death in the face
Trying hard to erase
All the memories I can’t replace
But it seems like all the time I’m just moving along
Pretending that I’m so strong
Even when it feels wrong
And it’s sad
Cuz I’ve worked so hard to put my mind in health
Building up my own wealth
Filling my soul with the love and desire
Trying to take it higher
Willing to inquire
About the things I don’t understand
Trying to take it in
Even when I’m down I’m always up
Never give up
Never deny the light that lives inside of me
But sometimes I get weak
And I can’t help but to break down
When there’s no one around
I’m still human, you see
And I can’t help that I’ve been through some shit
Made me just want to quit
Look at myself and say this is it
But here I stand bearing all of my scars
Been through some bad wars
So I take a leap and hope I land among the stars
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Some people taught me that I couldn’t be loved
That it was too hard to trust
That I was never enough
But that shit
Pushed me harder
Made me want to grow
Let everybody know that it’s ok to just let the tears flow
People tell me that I am their light
That I help them to fight
That they can sleep better at night
Just remember that all of these things
Come from the pain my life brings
And sometimes I need you to be those things for me
CHORUS
