My days draw long and weary
When you're no longer near.
Confidence is filled with question
Strength replaced with fear.
The assuredness that I awake with each day
Is no where to be found,
As though my dreams and aspirations
Were buried underground.
I hear your voice being carried by wind
Like fingers through my hair.
I close my eyes and remember your kiss
And wish that you were there.
So with nothing left but one thing to say
To resolve my heartbreak here,
Good-bye my darling and my love,
Good-bye my angel dear.
If when you wake up in the morning,
And the hurting is so great,
You don't want to get out of bed
And face a world of hate.
If everything in life goes wrong
And nothing you do seems right,
You just try a little harder
And soon you'll see the light.
For every person who has put you down
And filled your life with pain,
You must strive to achieve greatness
And show them you can win.
For every disappointment,
For the times you are let down,
There will be a better moment
And your life will turn around
Because everyone feels heartache
And everyone feels pain,
But only those who have true courage
Can get up and try again.
Have you ever lived my life?
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't them tell me why
You judge me as you do.
Have you ever woken up in the morning
Wondering if this was your last day on earth?
Have you ever left you house
Unsure if you'd return?
Have you ever seen your friend get shot
Outside his 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 on booze?
Have you ever had an unwanted pregnancy
Forcing you to choose?
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
And the only 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 my life,
Spent one minute in my shoes?
If you haven't, then tell me why
You judge me as you do.
