Shaped

Then and Now

When we went our separate ways

I was scared and broken

Not knowing how I would live out my days.

My sanity was definitely in question

Going from one breakdown to another

My thoughts, they imprisoned me

I thought I wouldn't recover

Locked in a place I didn't want to be

All I could think about was the negative

Until the positive came screaming back at me

And I knew something had to give

Oh for so many reasons...

Most I don't want to mention

But my baby girl I so much longed to be with

Is finally coming around

It's a feeling I've needed for so long

So it's time to put my feet on the ground

And do what you taught me

To get my shit together and be strong

Like we said...

We were meant to shape each other

I made you a better man

And you made me stronger
