Its crazy how fast ten years can fly by
One day you just realize it was all gone in a bink of an eye
No going back
No second chances
Just one shot at one life
And its so easy to take it for granted
Not knowing that you could really not be here tomorrow
Go to sleep and not wake up to see the sunrise
The realest words i ever heard
Every day is a blessing
And its true
Nobody knows when the reaper is coming for you
Ive waisted too many damn years
Steadily hatin myself
Blaming myself
Too many damn tears ive cried
Nobody understands
How hard ive tried
(Chorus)-(female sings chorus only)
Clock keeps turning, lessons burned in my skin
I tried to run but the streets keep pullin me back in
If I could trade the tears
for one more day
I swear id never let you drive away
But your really miles away
I cant explain how it feels
I just cant wait to get to see that smile on your face
I know im free
But my mind makes me feel trapped
Like im in a penitentiary
I be prayin to god but he never answers me
So i know i cant trust nobody
Cus in this world all i have is me
It was a hard road i had to take
For me to finally see
Love for myself is the only love i need
Ive went through hell
Didn't know how i would make it through
But im still alive because i will see you again if its the last thing i do
(Chorus)-(female sings chorus only)
Clock keeps turning, lessons burned in my skin
I tried to run but the streets keep pullin me back in
If I could trade the tears
for one more day
I swear id never let you drive away
But your really miles away
I cant explain how it feels
I just cant wait to get to see that smile on your face
Im so thankful for the ones who found some love for me
I know im hard to love but who ive been aint who i used to be
When i see my reflection i see a stranger lookin back at me
Sometimes i wonder what everybody else might see
Do you see the old me trying to break free
Im just somebodies daughter trying to find her peace
But its inevitable that pain still fallows me
I need a second to breathe
If there's a god
Then when will he show himself to me
Is it too much to ask for god to help me believe
(Chorus)-(female sings chorus only)
Clock keeps turning, lessons burned in my skin
I tried to run but the streets keep pullin me back in
If I could trade the tears
for one more day
I swear id never let you drive away
But your really miles away
I cant explain how it feels
I just cant wait to get to see that smile on your face
