Christian 21 - I Don't Want to Lose Myself Lyrics

I don't wanna lose myself
When struggling with mental pain
I'm thinking of all my own priorities
Things I can't replace
I knew myself a year ago
But now I'm lost today
Praying to god to help me through
Before I part ways

I remember my childhood
Damn I was a happy kid
But once I reached 15
I felt like I was always dead
I had my dreams and wishes
Like the other kids
My dad signed me up for sports
Cause I didn't fit in

So look at me now
In my room making music
I didn't think I'd make it
But look at me now
Man I'm doing it

This song ain't got no chorus
This is just my life story
You may not know me
But in the end
Trust me... you'll know me

I remember 10 years ago
I was just a little dude
My dad said "who do you wanna be"
I remember I said "you"

You'll always be my idol
I hope you know that's true
You helped me through hard times
There's no one like you

If I could go back
And talk to myself 10 years ago
I would say "keep your head up"
There's always a better road

Don't ever get discouraged
You got your family here
You'll never be alone
Cause they love you so dear
