My virginity was stolen from me at the age of fifteen
No longer innocent, just impure and unclean
A few years later, thinking I was in love
I fell easily into him, believing he was the one
Giving him all of me, all the little pieces
Opening up and sharing all my secrets
But I was abandoned once again
Leaving me more broken in the end
Countless nights trying to drink the pain away
What's wrong with me? No one seems to stay
No future anymore, no goals or happy life plans
Just being used and so many one night stands
Vulnerable to anyone who shows me any interest
I please them and then they make themselves so distant
Every night I know I'm being used and then forgotten
But I keep failing myself, falling for lies then feeling rotten
I'm trapped in my past and the ship continues to sail
I want to land on the ground and break free, but all my efforts fail
But still I refuse to give up shining hope
I'm choosing to leave my past and escape this sorrowful *****
This story is one I used to fear to share
But my past no longer defines me for one day it will end a fairytale

I heard your life's been hard,
you're counting the welts on your soul.
You've played all your cards,
working towards no specific goal.

You're texting for hours on your phone,
Yet you still feel so alone.
You can eat at work or school,
But you're never really full.

Well, guess what?
Inspiration's knocking
So don't be door-locking
Here's some light to keep at bay,
the demons that chase you night and day

Let's start.

I believe everything turns out well in the end.
If it's still sour, then it *isn't the end.

The sky is never the limit, you will reach your dream soon.
If the sky was the limit, why are there footprints on the moon?

There's always a way to stand out, and not to be just "passable"
Remember, every great achievement was once known as impossible.

There will come a day when you can't open up your eyes,
*But what matters is what you do until that day arrives.

Hey, have you ever tried
Really letting go of the feelings you hide
Well there's no better time to start
Please woman open up your heart

I know you don't know me well
If your heart is mine only time will tell
And in my dreams I want you to know
You won't know love until you let go

Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if you chose to show me your heart
Our love will paint a picture of priceless art

We used to be so close
But I played with your heart
I let pride get in the way
And break us apart

I wish I could change the past
But that doesn't matter
Because I can't bring you back
And that makes my soul shatter  

We didn't speak for awhile
But I used to be yours  
Now I understand when they say:
**When it rains, it pours
