Turning Point Lyrics

So tired.

I can't take this anymore.

Wasted so much of my life.

Just giving into it.

Sitting here, waiting for things to change.

When they won't.

Unless I do something.

Need a Miracle.

To free me from this insanity.

Cus everything's so wrong.

Feel like I don't belong.

I don't wanna drown in your memories.

I've come to my own...

(Chorus)

Turning Point.

Either have to fight it.

Or stay miserable for the rest of my life.

Turning Point.

Gotta get up, and do it.

Don't wanna be stuck here the rest of my life.

Getting that License no matter what.

Even if it drains the hell out of me.

I've been slacking off on what I really need to do.

And what I was put on this earth to be.

Gotta stop living in some fantasy.

Should've faced this Reality.

A long time ago.

But I was too afraid to take any action.

Was afraid of someone's reaction.

Being ''You're a complete failure''.

Afraid to be laughed at and bullied around.

Afraid that you would just leave me in the dust.

For your own twisted lust.

This is my...

Turning Point.

(End of 1st Chorus).

I was once embarrassed to even show my face.

Confidence wasn't something that was easy for me to embrace.

When people yell and scream at you and push you around.

Just because you're different.

You wanna find somewhere safe.

Somewhere where you won't have to take the abuse.

And really put all of the hell you went thru to a use.

All you want is a truce.

And all they do is refuse.

When there is no solution.

You'll have to be the one who has to grow up and choose.

Where to go and what to do.

Realizing they no longer care about you.

I remember all the times I was so helpless.

No where to hide, no where to go.

Getting by, is all you could really show.

I've realized this is my...

(Chorus)

Turning Point.

Yeah.

I was once that kid who was once so cheerful and bright.

Had nothing to lose, and everything to choose.

But when I got older.

I realized all of the traumatic memories.

Of mom and dad yelling and screaming.

Getting into fights.

I was in the middle.

Of it all.

While my dad was Sober and Clean, Protecting me from my mom.

Mom did nothing but use violence as an excuse for her Alcohol Abuse.

And Misuse of me and my dad.

Been a Survivor of Domestic Violence all my Life.

And I'm so tired of being used!

I refuse, refuse, refuse!

I win, you win, she wins, we lose.

These are the days of my childhood.

Where the only Escape was playing with my friends.

Playing videos games, or hanging out in my backyard.

From the home filled with no light or future.

And no trust.

This is my...

Turning Point.

Either drown in my past.

Or forever last.

And cast all my rage.

Into this stage.

Putting it back where it truly belongs.

(End of Last Chorus).

I wish she would've lived.

And our past could be resolved.

Be none of that was solved.

All of the good and bad.

Now nothing but a sad.

Memory.

I'm not gonna let anyone put me down.

Put me to the ground.

I'll get up.

And you can't do a thing.

If I'm still around.

Not to them.

Like you did to me.

Independence is the only way to be free.

From their Abuse!

From their insanity!

I Survived, I Survived!

So many emotional beatings.

And I Survived, I Survived!

All of your misery.

I Survived, I Survived.

All of your hell.

And I ain't gonna drown in your well.

You can't hold me down!

Anymore...
