you dont know how much this song resembles me! just read the lyrics
I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this
So from my thoughts I will exclude
The very thing that
I hate more than everything is
The way I'm powerless
To dictate my own moods
I've thrown away
So many things that could've been much more
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not the way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregaurd
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
If and when I can
Clear myself of this clouded mind
I'll watch myself settle down
Into a place where Peace can search me out and find
That I'm so ready to be found
I've thrown away
The hope I had in friendships
I've thrown away
So many things that could have been much more
I've thrown away
The secret to find the end to this
And I just pray
My problems go away if they're ignored
But that's not the way it works
No that's not that way it works
When I go down
I go down hard
And I take everything I've learned
And teach myself some disregaurd
When I go down
It hurts to hit the bottom
And of the things that got me there
I think, if only I had fought them
Any control I thought I had just slipped through my hands
While my ever-present conscience shakes its head and reprimands me
Reprimands me
Then and there I confess
I'll blame all this on my selfishness
Yet You love me
And that consumes me
And I'll stand up again
And do so willingly
You give me hope, and hope it gives me life
You touch my heavy heart, and when you do You make it light
As I exhale I hear Your voice
And I answer You, though I hardly make a noise
And from my lips the words I choose to say
Seem pathetic, but it's a fallen man's praise
Cause I love You
Oh God, I love You
And life is now worth living
If only because of You
And when they say that I am dead and gone
It won't be further from the truth
When I go down
I lift my eyes to You
I won't look very far
Cause You'll be there
With open arms
To lift me up again
To lift me up again

Hi Chelso,
I am a mother of two teenage kids who were brought up Christian and I was just searching the internet for their names to see if they're safe out there in cyberspace. My dauther's name is Chelsea and she sometimes goes by "Chelso".
Thanks so much for putting in the lyrics to that Relient K song...
My heart is heavy when I remember back to when I was (eons ago) just 19. By then I had been date-raped I agreed to have an abortion I didn't want to have because I was just 17 and my parents were too embarrassed that I was pregnant. Just two years later, I took my brother out to a local bar to celebrate his birthday (in New York you could drink at 18) and while drowning my sorrow over having just lost the only real friend I'd ever had, I made the mistake of going outside with one of my brother's friends. He totally raped me in an abandoned building. I never told anyone. I just tried to kill myself.
Very looong story short?
Jesus saves.
aawww, i dont know who you are, but thank you.. that really has opened my eyes..
amen, Jesus does save
