Faded Dreams

[?] tried to break me down
Yeah, I'm still here and I'm standing
Hard to believe at only 23
I'd be standing at a place where I could write my dreams
But my pencil needed sharpening
Before the pages made a mess of me

Too far gone I've been away from home
You can tell when I'm on the telephone
You say
Call me back, I need to hear your soul!
Thought you had me
Then it's where'd she go?
I've been running on faded dreams
Someone help me help me please
It ain't always what it seems
When you look happy

So now I'm walking with patience
Keeping the faith and
Believing in grace
I'll be needing that
Sober-minded I'm better
God my protector
With me forever
He got my back

He got my back
