I am currently rewriting some of my older lyrics and this is one of them.

THOUGHT BY NOW

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON 

JULY 2016

I STEPPED OUT INTO THE LIGHT

TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE THINGS RIGHT AGAIN

NO ONE NOTICED NO ONE CARED

JUST ANOTHER SOUL LAID BARE

THIS TIME IT'S ME THAT'S STANDING ON THE EDGE

THIS TIME I'M THE ONE THAT'S DOWN AND OUT

FULL OF DOUBT

ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD

STARTING OVERS NEVER EASY

I'VE BEEN THERE TIME AND TIME AGAIN

IT'S BECOMING SECOND NATURE

WALKING AWAY FROM THE WRECKAGE  

LOOK AT THE CARNAGE MY LIFE'S BECOME 

 THOUGHT BY NOW THINGS WOULD BE EASIER 

BUT IT'S GETTING HARDER EVERYDAY

I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

THOUGHT I HAD IT ALL WORKED OUT

BUT FATE CONSPIRED WITH CHANGE AGAIN

AND LEFT ME OUT HERE IN THE COLD

MY HEART TELLS ME I'M ALL ON MY OWN

THE SEEDS OF FATE HAVE ALL BEEN SOWN

AND AN ILL WINDS BLOWING MY WAY 

NOT MUCH I CAN DO OR SAY

SOMETIMES LIFE'S NOT ALWAYS FAIR 

AND WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF THERE

SOMETIMES IT HARD TO GET AWAY

GET BACK UP AND SHOW EVERYBODY

HOW YOU NEVER GIVE UP

KEEP ON GOING, KEEP ON HOPING

THERE'S BETTER THINGS AHEAD

I'M BETTER OFF TO THINK ABOUT THOSE THINGS INSTEAD 

LOOKING FOR A FOUR LEAF CLOVER

IT'S TIME THIS BAD LUCK WAS OVER

I LOOKED UP TO THE SKY AND SAID A LITTLE PRAYER

TO WHOEVER WAS LISTENING THERE

I NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO PIN MY HOPES
