I'm tired of running away from obstacles in my way

Breaking me, making me fall, am i weak have i lost control?

Making my goals seem so distant, making destiny out to be a dream

I feel like i'm losing this battle, becoming a slave of my own sorrow

Oh lord help me

It's not easy being

Lord give me a new life, new reason for living

As i crawl on my hands and my knees, isn't this so pathetic of me?

So many think my life is sweet, but it's been sour grapes to me

I wish others could walk in my shoes, and realize what i've been through

Next time you see a smile on my face

Look deep in my eyes and witness my pain

Oh lord help me

It's not easy being

Lord give me a new life, new reason for living

As i walk with my head down in shame to realize

And cannot continue this way

Must be bold, must be strong and be true

Cause this world is nothing but straight up cruel

So i look at myself and i say

I won't slip through cracks and i won't decay

My faith has got to change, open my soul before all fades away

Oh lord help me

It's not easy being

Lord give me a new life, new reason for living
