Strengthen Me
Why do I let myself live like this?
 Same old habit of forced smile
 Keep building up my walls.
 I’m crying here in pain
 But nobody gets past my game
 I’m living with my shame
 One mistake and life became
 Nothing more than survival
 Do I let it show?
 Does anybody know?
 I am begging you to come
 I’ve become so numb
 Someone please reach out
 Reach past my screaming doubts
 Prove to me I’m wrong
 Show me I belong
 I’m sick of crying out this song
 I’m running out of strength
 But I still hold you at arm’s length
 Please just hold me tight
 Before I give up and break
 How long will this take
 My life is a mistake
 I don’t want to be a fake
 But I still question my existence
 God don’t let me go
 Cause each day is another blow
 Another reminder of the choices of long ago
 My breath is running out
 Is this all life is about?
 The light is slowly waning
 You have taken everything away
 There is not much of me remaining…
