Alone

looking back, sad memories of what that girl became,
i made mistakes i understand, and yes i was to blame,
but because of you i looked away, i let my strong guard slide,
youve took away the things i own, but your not taking my pride!

i will not stand and watch as you destroy my life again,
i will not turn my head and watch my lifeline drain,
but because of you i looked away, i saw my strong guared wrecked
youve took away the things i own,but you cant take my respect

ive listened to the words they said, how, i hung with thugs,
wasting all my life away with hallucinogenic drugs,
i was alone, what could i do but curiously enough,
you always turned your back on me when times were hard and rough

looking back, sad memories of what that girl became,
i made mistakes i understand, and yes i was to blame,
but because of you i have took care, no longer cast on a shelf
i told you i could make it and i made it myself
