Past Yesterday

Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

Her mom and daddy trusted
That neighbor she grew up with
They were working days and nights
So he took her home from school sometimes

One day, when she came home
It looked like she saw a ghost
She snuck up to her room to cry
With a lifelong scar to hide

(Ooh, life is always unfair) life is unfair
(Ah) it's unfair

Young enough for princess posters
Suddenly, she's lifetimes older
He stole the innocence from her
Before she knew the meanin' of the word

Hours in the shower steam
Still never felt clean
As she curls into a ball
Some things you can't wash off

Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

A few paths in life she could take
But not one of them I could blame
Finding every way to numb
Finding ways to overcome

I pray that God will right that wrong
And she'll find a way to carry on
'Cause you ain't the hell that you've been through
You're more than what's been done to you

Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn't yours, it's only mine
The damage has been done, so this, I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday

In those corners, you'll find that you're broken and scared
There's no one by your side, still all your angels are there
At your lowest of lows when life's been cruel and unfair
I just hope that you know all your angels are there (there)
Yeah

Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
