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

Young enough for princess posters, suddenly she's lifetimes older

He stole the innocence from her before she knew the meaning 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

Don't judge me if I get too high tonight
