Destroyed by a man she once loved, she's trying to figure out how to pick up the pieces without destroying herself completely? Is her life repairable? Only Jesus and time will tell.

Verse One:
Look in the mirror and what do I see?
But a lonely stranger staring back at me
Dim the lights so I don’t recognize
The sad existence in my weary eyes
Chorus:
Crying out, hoping someone hears
Treading deep water, drowning in fear
Have I gone too far to turn back now?
I guess only Jesus and time will tell
Verse Two:
Another rainy night and I drink myself to sleep
Still haunted by the dreams he stole from me
Made me a stranger the world can’t recognize
But I’ll fight this uphill battle even if I die trying
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
My soul’s been broken down one too many times
But I’ll get back up again, Lord knows it’s time
Repeat Chorus
I guess only Jesus and time can tell

Hey, Sundi,
I think you are definitely making progress with your lyrics, and I am not surprised, and I am very happy for you!!!
There are a few of us here who prefer to write what is in our souls instead of what (we think) will sell, and I applaud you for your honesty. Unlike you, I try to shield my vulnerability a bit more, not knowing if it works.
I’ll be honest with you because, as different as we are, we have a few similarities too, I think. Like the lyrics, the tune… the presentation not so much.
Hard to give you advice on the presentation but let me try: don’t try to reach a note that is hard to reach, stay in your comfort zone, get the tune a step down or something… make yourself sound like the authority on broken hearts without sounding too desperate. Hope this helps. Cheers!
