lyrics

For years this life has plagued me. Nearly 8 billion people crawl on this surface and my mind can't comprehend why someone hasn't come up with a cure for everything yet. My thoughts are the only excuses to stay in bed and it hasn't been easy to keep myself from craving those substances, but I've been holding out better than I thought I could have.
It's been 4 years, 9 months, and 26 days since I last touched the foul beast and if there is anything I have learned in that time, it's who I am and who I wish I would've been. I wish I would've had someone to lead me and guide me on the road to righteous doings, but instead I had the devil resting on my shoulder and whispering sweet nothings to me nightly. I wish I would've had the courage to stand up to my father at a young age and tell him what I really think, but instead I sat back quietly and watched as he took what he wanted and did as he pleased. I wish that someone would have told me that life isn't easy and there would be a lot of struggling because now that it's almost over there is no need to stop the bleeding, not for me anyway.
But you...

You need to hear these words and listen to them carefully: Please, don't do this. Don't hold onto these feelings and just put your past behind. Start living today, right now, and be the first one in line to say: I'm sorry. I forgive you for what you've done. Can you forgive me for my sins to you and can we please just move on? Because this life isn't worth it when you're alone and God how I wish I wasn't alone. Don't make the mistakes I did, learn from them. And bring forth the future generations with nothing but love. It's up to you now. Make this world a sight to behold and ensure the worth in a life.

I wish someone would've told me that from a young age.
