Written Because of 'Everything I Had'
Nobody said it would be this hard
The pain of love
Bitter taste of defeat
At some point in my life
I gave up
No longer cared about the game
Wallowed in my own pity
Crawled into the bottle
And never came back out
I refused to believe it
But I knew it was so
I stopped believing in myself
Cared not about anybody
Just wanted to get through the day
Crawl back into my bed
And find peace in my sleep
Only to wake up and do it all over
The next day
But how funny is it
That sleep left me as well
All the nights of tossing and turning
Watching the clock tick on
Seeing the sun rise before my eyes
Closed for the night
I had given up
There was nothing left to believe in
But that can’t be true
Even though I don’t believe in myself
My friends have faith in me
They see something I must have missed
Know something I don’t
And these are people who stuck with me
When life could not get any worst
They know a lot about me
Seen me through my darkest days
And I know they are right
So I will not let their faith be misplaced
I refuse to let them down
The power of the words I just wrote
Brought tears to my face
And I felt the fire lit
In my soul as I know I will not
Let myself or my friends down
So I will put all my strength
All of my belief
Into the one place where it should be
Me
