I've been chewed up and spit out Dropped like a bad habit and slapped with doubt I went inside myself to rid me of shame Yet I'm looked at and easily blamed My past forever left a burn Melted and scared away, with no more places to turn So I dove inside myself and threw out the key Hoping that no one will ever hurt me In that time all I needed was someone to try To gather my shattered remains and rid the tears I cry I longed for someone who could bring me to my feet and bring back my dying heartbeat I don't want to stay here anymore Please find that key and open the door Tell me that I'm truly needed with no doubt and teach me what life is really about

The Old Me
I've been chewed up and spit out Dropped like a bad habit and slapped with doubt I went inside myself to rid me of shame Yet I'm looked at and easily blamed My past forever left a burn Melted and scared away, with no more places to turn So I dove inside myself and threw out the key Hoping that no one will ever hurt me In that time all I needed was someone to try To gather my shattered remains and rid the tears I cry I longed for someone who could bring me to my feet and bring back my dying heartbeat I don't want to stay here anymore Please find that key and open the door Tell me that I'm truly needed with no doubt and teach me what life is really about
