Taking Back My Life

TAKING BACK MY LIFE
Sweeping broken glass I see it's really so much more
I'm sweeping broken dreams with every sliver I lift from the floor
how did I get here, which way leads out, I'm hurting and confused
I don't blame you I know you're hurting too but I'll no longer stand this abuse.
CHORUS
I'm fighting back this time
I'm taking back my life
I'm terrified of myself and you
but I won't lay down and play dead
I won't let your demons poison my head
I found the strength to fight
I'm taking back my life

The knife it scared me the gun was worse
and the back of your hand was rough
but the part that chained my soul inside
was believing I wasn't good enough
that I deserved you and I asked for this
and I could expect nothing more
well surprise surprise I'm still alive
and this time I've found the cure
CHORUS
[I'm fighting back this time, I've found the strength to fight
I won't lay down and play dead, I won't let your demons poison my head
I found the strength to fight, I've taken back my life]

I always said it couldn't happen to me no I had to strong of a will
to give up myself for the sake of someone else their every wish to fulfill
now I'm living proof it could happen to you in the blinking of an eye
from happy to sad a good place to bad thinking things would be better if you died
CHORUS
