I'm Still Not Done

Watching cartoons reminds me of the childhood I never had
Living with lies makes you grow up way too fast
You soon will learn love is not forever
You lose your faith when you are left

My parents would fight so I couldn't sleep
I had to protect momma who now I know also sinned
I'd go to school hiding a million tears
I would come home just to feel more fear

I found loving arms to hold me but they faded
I guess everybody was just pretending
I still believe love will come sooner or later
but I'll find a way to keep the pain away

Through all of this I let my dreams carry me
And now I don't know what I'm supposed to believe in
Now I just know I have to follow this
And one day I'll wake up to win

I'm only a teen and I don't know what will happen
But I'm different and that's good, I'm certain
I have hopes I'll grow up and be stronger
After all I've been through, I'm still not done
