Borrowed Time

I've grown sick of fighting To keep my head held above the water There's a weight around my feet that's dragging me down Constantly pulling me and filling up my lungs This disease has gotten the worst of me And I may never come back I am a shell Of my former self I have changed Now I am left empty It kills me to wake up every day Knowing that my life has changed One day (one day) things will be different Things will get better here for me I can't remember the last time that I, that I woke up feeling alive Everyday repeats itself Day in, day out, it's always the same It's always the same It kills me to wake up every day Knowing that my life has changed One day (one day) things will be different Things will get better here for me I've let myself get too far All I can see are these hospital walls I'm stuck in this bed remembering what brought me here The scars are so deep The memory's engraved I'll keep this with me as a reminder to myself Sometimes we need a reason And a purpose This is my reason This is my purpose This is my second chance to live again I will no longer take this life that I've lived for granted This is my life and I will take control of everything that I used to know
