Careful
Careful
i’ve been living life so carefully
avoiding pain and distaster
but i’ve become to withdrawn from life
i’n not sure if i’m even
living anymore
i try to reach out
but no one reaches back and i
feel so alone
not knowing what to do
feeling lost and confused
what do i do next?
where do i turn to?
and when it gets to be
more than i can bare
and when i’m ready to jump
knowing there’s nothing left
to live for
when i’m ready to give up
then there willl be hope
i’ve been dead
you were my life
i’ve been sad
you were my smile
i’ve been alone
you were my companion
i’ve been broken
you put the pieces back together
i’ve been drowned
you breathed for me
i’ve been bruised and burned, scarred and hurt
i’ve fallen, shattered, wept, and bled
still you were there
you caught me in your arms
picked up the pieces
dried my tears
and bandaged my wounds
when i was empty
you filled me up
when i was choking
you kissed it away
when i was blind
you waited so you would, be the first thing i saw
and now all i see is you
perfect, beautiful
you who gave me hope
you are my salvation
