Have you ever lived my life
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you havent then tell me why
You judge me as you do?

Have you ever woken up in the monrinng
Wondering if this was your last on earth?
Have you ever left your house
Unsure if you'd return.

Have you ever seen your freind get shot?
outside your favorite store?
Have you ever seen a friend die
From drugs he'd never used before?

Have you ever seen your mom get beat up
By your stepdad messed up in booze?
Have you ever had an unwanted pregnancy
Forcing you to chose?

Have you ever sat beneath the stars
Hoping God will hear
Have you ever seen your friend drive away
After way too many beers?

Have you ever had a friend
Experiment with weed
Have you ever covered up guilt
By doing a good deed?

Have you ever considered suicide
As the way
Have you ever tried to hide yourself
Behind the things you say?

Have you ever wanted to protect
Your friend and everyone in sight
Have you ever felt such pain
That you cried yourself to sleep at night?

Have you ever lived in my shoes
Spent one minute in my shoes
If you havent then tell me why
You must judge me the way you do?













I’m letting go of what I once held onto
My grip is getting weak and it’s long overdue
What was the reason for waiting so long
When did the obsession get so strong
...
I was kind of going crazy but now I’m sane
No more mercy, tears, pleasure, or pain
No more feelings about loving you that way
Because feelings of hate won’t go away
I hate you with every thing but my heart
It’s still breaking, cracking, falling apart
I can’t go back to the way it used to be
When I thought you were thinking of me
But you could fall and wanted to stay friends
And now I cry as that friendship ends
See it wouldn’t so bad if you would just say
How you feel instead of pushing me away
If only I knew if a should hold on longer
Because if there is a chance I would be stronger
