Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
Her Mom and Daddy trusted that neighbor she grew up with
They were working days and nights, so he took her home from school sometimes
One day, when she came home, it looked like she saw a ghost
She snuck up to her room to cry with a lifelong scar to hide
Young enough for princess posters, suddenly she’s lifetimes older
He stole the innocence from her before she knew the meaning of the word
Hours in the shower steam, still never felt clean
As she curls into a ball, some things you can’t wash off
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
A few paths in life she could take, but not one of them I could blame
Finding every way to numb, finding ways to overcome
I pray that God will right that wrong, and she’ll find a way to carry on
‘Cause you ain’t the hell that you’ve been through, you’re more than what’s been done to you
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
My journey isn’t yours, it’s only mine
The damage has been done, so this I pray
God, give me the strength to get myself past yesterday
In those corners, you’ll find that you’re broken and scared
There’s no one by your side, still all your angels are there
At your lowest of lows, when life’s been cruel and unfair
I just hope that you know all your angels are there
Don’t judge me if I get too high tonight
