You came from the same old neighborhood
A lost cause, they called you no good
Doing what was wrong
No-one believed in you
But still you went on
You never slept soundly
You cried in the night
You wanted love, but it wasn't right
Life is a bitch, a hard road ahead
You fell in love and got married instead
It's easy in his arms, so easy you say
Easy to cry and not turn away
It's easy with lies, cheating and games
It's easy, so easy
When you've lived life in shame
Confusion sets in, the kids are so warm
Your heart is so cold
It's been tattered and torn
You've been alone before
You can't go back again
You'd rather live with your bruises and pain
And it won't matter when you are lonely inside
You can't run away with no-where to hide
And so you'll go back to be by his side
It's easy in his arms, so easy you say
Easy to cry and not turn away
It's easy with lies, cheating and games
It's easy, so easy
When you've lived life in shame

I understand partly what you are saying, sometimes we feel like we don't deserve the best because we haven't always done what's best for ourselves so its easy to put the blame on us. It's depressing that people really do hold that type of mind frame and I hope that you have risen about this if you are in fact speaking of yourself. We all deserve the best things in life even if we haven't made the best of decisions, best of luck and wonderful piece, a great job of place me and your position for a moment.
