Shattered Hope

Lost in the echoes of yesterday’s pain

A young heart shattered, trying to explain

From love’s sweet promise to bitter regret

Moving on barely, but it's all I can't forget

Thought she was the one, my whole world in her eyes

Trusted her words, believed in those lies

Gave her a second chance, thought we could mend

But the truth hit harder, real pain never ends

Now I’m moving out, leaving the house behind

Working these long days, searching for what’s mine

Underpaid and tired, but I push through

Dreaming of my mom, wishing she knew

Life hit me hard, like a mountain fall

Standing alone, trying not to crawl

Heartbreak and struggle, yet I survive

Holding on to love, keephope alive

Living with the bossman, hammer in my hand

Every brick I lay, trying to understand

The weight of the world on my young shoulders

Some days get colder, when my spirit’s older

Distant thoughts of her, of what we had

Now I see the truth, things good and bad

I just want to hear my mama’s voice

Her words of love, my only choice

Life hit me hard, like a mountain fall

Standing alone, trying not to crawl

Heartbreak and struggle, yet I survive

Holding on to love, keep hope alive

In these sleepless nights, I find my fight

In the darkest times, I see the light

Love’s a lesson, pain’s a test

I keep on going, doing my best

Maybe someday, I’ll find my peace

Till then I’ll keep these wounds releasing

Dream of my mom, my guiding star

No matter how far, she’s never that far

Late nights, city lights, a heavy weight I carry

Fighting court, my mind's a war zone, dreams on hold, I'm all alone

Work and grind, no sleep in sight, hustle hard, turn wrong to right

A little one, uncertain, maybe mine, maybe not, my heart's in a bind

Every call, every court day, fighting for a future, money's just a way

Battles in my mind, trying to hold on

Wondering if I’m right or where I went wrong

Rising from the dark, chasing the dawn

Doing all I can, staying strong

Bustin’ my ass just to see a better day

Holding on tight, I won’t let it slip away

Could be mine, or it might not be, but I’ll fight for what I believe

Zero sleep, baby, I can’t break, I do this all for us, for our future's sake

Night after night, no end in sight, pushing through the pain, fighting for the light

Hope and doubt, in an endless fight, gotta keep my faith, make everything right

One day, I’ll lay these worries down, see the smile, clear the frown

Till then, I’ll stand my ground, working hard, my love profound
