Before I Knew How to Forgive Myself...

I tried to drink it away

I tried to put one in the air

I tried to dance it way

I tried to change it with my hair

I ran my credit card bill up

Thought a new dress would make it better

I tried to work it away

But that just made me even sadder

I tried to keep myself busy

I slept it away, I sexed it away

I read it away, away, away, away, away,

Away, away, away, away, away

Well, its like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

Yeah, its like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

I thought that looking at everything outside of myself was better. I was looking for the validation instead of giving it to myself.

I learned to get rid of the distractions, quiet my mind and go within. Within me is where I found forgiveness and love, genuine love for myself.
