Sometimes it felt as though I would black out
All I ever wanted to do was just lash out

So much rage and sadness locked deep inside
The emotion of pain that I would hide

Everything had started when I turned sixteen
But things got better, Mom came home clean

I see Dad a lot so things have changed
I lost a lot but even more I gained

My faith is bigger, my days are brighter
I'm not weak from crying, I no longer am tired

And I'm not afraid and I'm no longer scared
And I'm glad to know you'll always be there

Because you took my hand and you helped me stand
And I won't look back because the past is the past
