Defeated, wasted, broken, bruised
All because of my addictions
It left me crying and confused
It cuts right through my religion
My good intentions
Disregarded, overlooked
Sinking lower, lower
The shame erased my name and took
My face and made it like the others
Would I recover
Today’s another day to learn from our mistakes
Knowing that we’re not forsaken
They give life to where we’ve been
When we fall and start again
Scars remind us who we are
Self indulgent, death by pride
Forgetting all that I’ve been given
But still you never left my side
Brought back to life
You healed the broken
With arms wide open
I’m aching
I’m breaking
Lord, I’m suffocating
Lord, wake me and save me
Use the abused me
Take me and fill me up
Today’s another day
Forgiven of mistakes
Knowing that we’re not forsaken
They give life to where we’ve been
When we fall and start again
Your scars remind us who we are
