I've wasted so much time
pretending to be fine.
It was all just a lie
and the words fail me.

I spent so many years
choosing sorrow and fears
over a life of honesty
and the words fail me.

I spent so many nights
searching for the light
from the heavens above,
but truth escapes me.

I questioned my past,
wondering if this will last,
but I can't see the future
and truth escapes me.

I stopped holding on,
trying to be strong;
I almost gave in,
but love saved me.

I've let go of fear,
though the end is not near.
I almost lost my life,
but love re-made me.
