Shredded Pieces of my Past

Shredded pieces of my past

The painful things I thought would last

The life I lived way too fast

The numbing way I was so sad

Everything I had to have

Doing things that hurt so bad

Crazy thoughts inside my head

Thinking of what was said

Overdosing on my meds

Lying lifeless in my bed

I close my eyes to say Goodbye

Only to see I'm alive 

Praying that I'll be fine

I see this man inside my mind

I opened up my eyes today

Realizing I'm not okay

That I want to call on his name

So that on this day I'll be saved

Because I know I'm hurting deep inside

Broken, sick, and not so kind

No matter what He'll make away

For what I ask of him today

His promises are what is true

He'll help me make my every move

Shredded pieces of my past

The painful things I thought would last.
