Riley Duckworth - life after dark Lyrics

I was bullied but I came back up
I wouldn't be the person that I am today
Oh I went through hell
'Cause being young was a struggle
I went through hell and back to keep my life on track
My life was almost ruined
Nearly threw it all away
What a waste that one drop would be
How could I look at life like that?
Being older has told me one thing
Life's a battle but I learned to sing
Through the pain and all the scars
Found my strength like hidden stars
When darkness tried to pull me down
I rose up strong I found my ground
I thought the end was all I'd see
But life had more in store for me
Now I wear my past like armor
Each scar a tale each bruise a charter
The fight was long the nights were cold
But I've found warmth in growing old
