Lost & Found 

If only I had a dollar, For all the things I’ve lost… Time and tears, lovers and friends, Things stolen, and things I’ve tossed, I’ve thrown away the things I loved, Then begged to have them back. But life is tricky and time is cruel, It leaves you and never looks back. I’ve lost money, I’ve lost respect, I’ve lost self-esteem. I’ve lost moments wishing, That it was all just one bad dream. If only I could get repaid, For all the sleepless nights. For all the scars and bloody wounds, From the battles I’ve had to fight. I’ve lost my way 1000 times, But i’ve found new paths to take. I found a way to love myself, Through all of my mistakes. And of all the things I’ve lost, I have found so much more… I’ve gained the woman I am today, And a life worth fighting for. I can’t turn back the hands of time, Or un-cry the tears I’ve shed. But I have found the strength to carry on, And that’s enough for now instead.
