I gave my heart like a prayer in the dark

Hoping you'd catch it from falling apart

But you held it like a weight you couldn't bear

Left me crying to a god i wasn't sure I was there

Years gone by and I still fell that sting

Love ain't a song when it don't mean a thing

I gave you thruth, you gave me pain

Now I'm walking through fire soaking in the rain

I'm just a soul

That's been abused

You stand tall and left confused

I rise though

I'm bruised oh

Lord I got nothing left to lose

I'm just a soul that's been abused

Mama warned me about the games folks play

But I had to learn the hardest way

Now every mirror shows a man I don't know

Tired eyes but a heart that won't let go

I'm just a soul that's been abused

Broken down and misused

But I still sing, I still choose

To wear these scars like worn out shoes

I'm just a soul that's been abused

But love it's a long hard road

When you're carrying the weight of what you never chose

I still believe though I don't know why

Maybe hope's the last thing to die

I'm just a soul that's been abused

But I'm still here yeah I still move
