lyrics

Colorado 1555

1) Leaving 232, it's all I can do
Shake these struggles
Clarity all the way home
Difficulty breathing, carrying this weight
It's far too much, I think I've met my match

The pills are in my hand, I think I found the cure for all my ills
As selfish as this seems, I think it may be the only way for me

<refrain>
I'm still here,
All the times I've tried to, end my life I pulled thru
I'm still here,
I've battled all my vices, and now it's time to make this clear

2) I wake up in shock, my family surrounding me
My headache won't stop
The beeping of this EKG,
Difficulty breathing, carrying this weight
It's far too much, no running away this time

So this is what I need, some time for me to take care of myself
PTSD, depression have weighed on me too long

<refrain>

<bridge>
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow's not here yet, there is no need for stress
Today is in my hands,
I'll just keep moving forward,
They're my mistakes, I'll own them
Now I have got to make it clear

But I'm still here...
I’ve battled all my vices, and now it’s time to make this clear

I'm still here...
All these time I've tried to, end my life I've pulled thru
Yet I'm still here...
I've battled all my vices,
Somehow I’m still surviving,
This time I'm got to make it clear
