The memories from my past
Still get under my skin.
I had forgotten the feelings
But then they flooded back in
So fast with a bang.
Tears burned my stunned eyes
As the past pushed through
Of my summer full of lies...
...So trapped and so scared;
I knew I had been wrong.
But I compromised it somehow
'Cause we'd been together so long.
Fighting the sickness;
A sign from God, I knew.
But I just couldn't admit to
The fact that it was true.
A smack on the face
And a shove to the floor
Was the ultimate sign
As he walked out my door.
A rebound came along.
I "needed" his affection.
I knew God disapproved of us
'Cause of our lack of conversation.
I found myself crying for hours
Nearly every single night.
Was it because he had hurt me?
Or 'cause I knew I wasn't right?...
...Those memories hit me
So hard and so fast,
Tearing my heart to pieces
From that horrible past.
That feeling of complete failure;
Trapped in a black hole.
Nowhere to turn to.
Nothing but a tainted soul.
But I did find my way out.
God forgave my lost ways.
Those memories make me cry
But I'm living brighter days. |
