Thanks To Love

Thanks To Love

In the past I wanted to throw in the towel
scream out but I couldn't
I wear pieces of broken heart
though I have healed mostly
but the damage was severe
for a long time it was costly
couldn't let anyone in
couldn't communicate like I should
I was one cold son of a b****
I was one trip away from a overdose
always on the edge
always on the offensive

but now I can't even begin to describe
how my life has changed
words couldn't be written properly
I look at this miracle
my husband and my boy
I couldn't be any luckier

so thanks to my friends
so thanks to love
I turned the corner
this feeling is truly
what happing endings is made of
so thanks to God
for never leaving
I have to say through all these struggles
I found my character

In the past when I was down
I knew just the right cure
in a needle shooting up so fast
but should have known
that high wouldn't last
when something happened
I became self pity
over time I looked in the mirror
and found a person I truly hated

but now looking back, old photographs
I can't recall that stranger
looking back....
I can't even begin to describe
how my life has changed
words couldn't be written properly
I look at this miracle
my husband and my boy
I couldn't be any luckier

so thanks to my friends
so thanks to love
I turned the corner
this feeling is truly
what happing endings is made of
so thanks to God
for never leaving
I have to say through all these struggles
I found my character
