Lyrics

My glass was half empty, but now it’s half full
The change was a hard one to make
I was clinging to lies, wouldn’t open my eyes
My grip on illusion was great

By releasing the grip, I had to admit that my life had been built on a lie
But you pushed me too far, then I packed my car
When you weren’t looking, I drove away

The Note said I’m gone, gave you no reason why
No destination so you could chase
We talked a few times, you tested your lies
But I’m not taking the bait

I knew you could tell, I wasn’t going through hell
You knew the mask had slipped from your face
The darkness was stark, you had broken my heart
Your cold eyes filled with nothing but hate

I thought you would change; grow into a man
But a boy you chose to remain. The hidden was seen,
Your pride couldn’t bear, You had to push my lovin’ away

This fork in the road wasn’t on my map
But I took it on faith and a prayer
This road leads to life; my glass is half full
Have a drink, praise God, and don’t despair
