A life of happiness im sure that ill miss

just to feel the lips of the devils kiss

4 years gone and wasted

a normal drug free life i ve barley tasted

all the pain i caused and chose not to see

is right here staring right back at me

remembering the many mistakes I made

gives me the strength to face each new day

I have to stop and look in the mirror

and remember the delonna that once was there

Its hard to admit and accept what ive become

but at least i have guideince from the man up above

the things I have wittnessed and learned on the streets

will put you in shock and youll fall to your knees

Its an unforgetable world that cant ever be explained

you would have to live it and you will regret that you played

Its a continous battle i will fight to the end of my days

and I finally except my addiction wont ever go away

I gotta take it minute by minute and day by day

Its time to face reality instead of running away

I see four faces that give me reason to get through the roughtest of days

and if it gets to hard jesus will carry me the rest of the way

I have to forgive and believe in myself

and stop holding on to the pain and misery each of us felt

I hope I continue to do right

I want to give my kids a a much better deserved life

and with each new breath I have to remind myself its not what I ve done

its what I have left
