Through It All - From Ashes to New

There’s not a day that passes by, the pain has not amassed inside

It’s breaking me down to the ground, it’s like I crashed and died

It’s hard to leave your past behind, especially when you’re last in line

And half the time it acts like vines and wraps inside my fragile mind

Hiding in plain view, it seems the same old shit I choose between

Taking who I used to be and keeping it subdued beneath

Close to dead and losing me, you took a chance and you believed

So did I, I let you lead and grabbed the line you threw to me

And through it all

You saved me, you made me

And through it all, you changed me forever

You love me, you hate me

And through it all, you changed me forever

You’ve given me a chance to change, helped me in ways I can’t explain

I’ll never understand the way you took my hand with no dismay

Now I’m who I am today, and that’s the man I plan to stay

But can’t escape, I can’t evade, you stranded me and ran away

Why’d you do it?

Why’d you leave?

Why’d you help me find my feet?

Why’d you guide me blindingly then turn and say goodbye to me?

All this time I tried to be the person you applied to me

This lie you feed that I’d succeed is why I’m me, a dying breed

You saved me, you made me

And through it all you changed me forever

You love me, you hate me

And through it all you changed me forever

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, this person that you made me

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, you changed me forever

It’s killing me down deep within, it makes me strain to breathe again

All this pain I keep it in if it’s the end where’d we begin

It’s so hard to comprehend where we are is where we end

Let’s make believe, let’s just pretend, you don’t hate me and want me dead

What you said stays in my head, an unrelenting discontent

It torments me to no extent, entrenches me just like cement

It makes no sense what’s your intent, bled for me then fled instead

You never meant to be content, fuck the words, let’s just be friends

You saved me, you made me

And through it all you changed me forever

You love me, you hate me

And through it all you changed me forever

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, this person that you made me

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, you changed me forever

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, this person that you made me

Through it all you changed me, I’m not the same me

For better or for worse, you changed me forever
