Never Be the Same

I've stood with both feet in the ocean
 Underneath a starry sky
 I've sat up on my daddy's shoulders
 And watched the parade go by
 I've heard the sweet sound of a lover
 Softly whispering my name
 I've felt the heat, I've felt the hunger
 And I will never be the same
 I've tasted kisses and I've tasted tears
 Watched love grow and watched it disappear
 I have searched for truth and chosen lies
 I've been selfish and I've sacrificed
 I've let go too soon, held on too hard
 Broken promises and broken hearts
 I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
 And I will never be the same
 ♪
 I've given up the things I needed
 And what I thought made me whole
 And I've found beauty in my weakness
 I'm not afraid to let it show
 ♪
 And I have screamed out loud to Jesus
 When I thought he couldn't hear my pain
 But then I heard the answer
 And I will never be the same
 I've tasted kisses and I've tasted tears
 Watched love grow and watched it disappear
 I have trusted and I've been betrayed
 Fought my way back out of my mistakes
 I have lost my faith, been found by grace
 I've made tears run down my mother's face
 I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
 And I will never be the same
 ♪
 I have laid fresh flowers on a grave
 Seen the future in a baby's face
 I have lived and learned and healed and hurt and laughed and cursed and prayed
 And I will never be the same
 I will never be the same
 I will never be the same
