It felt like a bad dream, but now I'm in control
Trying to please everyone else, and I lost my soul
Realizing the past is the past, I should move on
Just hopeful that I didn't leave things too long
The hardest fight that I fought was in my own head
At times I felt like I'd be better off dead
It seemed like the darkest place that I'd ever known
And I needed to escape it all on my own
Self-reflection is a testing bitter pill to swallow
But what is worse is feeling numb and hollow
The things that happened were out of my control
It's time to break free, it's time I let go
They say that wounds heal, but some never fade
They turn into stories from the choices I made
I carry them with me, the good and the bad
To remember the battles and the hope I now have
The scars tell a story that silence can't hide
Of nights when I crumbled and the mornings I tried
I'll mend all the pieces and hope they fit the same
But each hurt is a lesson, and each tear has a name
