I used to wanna give it all up, but I realized I have people depending on me.

I got to thinking, what if I weren't here?

Who's gonna lead them in the right direction?

And that drove me harder to keep moving forward

Trying not to look back, although the past is like my shadow...

 

Don't leave the people who care for you

It's just a temporary issue

Yes, I said TEMPORARY

Nothing lasts forever, It will get better.

...Trust me,  I know

I've been through enough pain to know it's not easy dealing with it, but it does end.

It's a process

Learn to live,

Live to learn.
