There was a time when I was young and innocent That was before I let everybody get in my head Before the trauma all the lies and all the pain Before I hurt so bad I had to change my name Before manipulations cracked foundations Moments that would test my patience Prayers to God to take it all away Before I felt all of the self-blame eat at me Before I felt the devil crushing me And nobody could hear me scream Before I asked God Why me? I've been loyal I've been patient I said hallowed be thy name I didn't asked to be apart of this wicked little game There was a time when I had no doubt in mind Thought that I was chosen Wouldn't lose no hope in you Then I got older thoughts turned into boulders World fell on my shoulders The thought of death became kinda comforting I wondered when death was gonna come for me I've been loyal I've been patient I said hallowed be thy name I didn't asked to be apart of this wicked little game Every man of God I ask said that I should be ashamed So I had to tell myself that I am not the one to blame I am not the one to blame I am not the one to blame I am not the one who should feel shame There was a time when I was young and innocent That was before I let everybody get in my head Before the trauma all the lies and all the pain Before I hurt so bad I had to change my name Before manipulations cracked foundations Moments that would test my patience Prayers to God to take it all away Before I felt all of the self-blame eat at me Before I felt the devil crushing me And nobody could hear me scream Before I asked God Why me? There was a time when I was young and innocent That was before I let everybody get in my head Before the trauma all the lies and all the pain Before I hurt so bad I had to change my name Before manipulations cracked foundations Moments that would test my patience Prayers to God to take it all away Before I felt all of the self-blame eat at me Before I felt the devil crushing me And nobody could hear me scream Before I asked God Why me?
