This song talks about the troubles I went through as a teenager with rejection and turning to violence to deal with my pain. I believe what I really needed was love and I believe when I got to know God, my life changed for the better. This songs talks about that journey.
lyrics
My everlasting affair, over and over again
The rules are clear to see, but I spit all over them
I caused your heart pain, enough for you to run away
From all that I have done, yet you still never leave me
The story of my life, was a past of violence
Helpless I had to change, so I tortured innocence
No one showed care for me, so I showed love to no one
I hated everyone, why should I have to care?
Alone I sat in my room, a private mockery
Writing my pain on paper, the anger was a release
The world rejected me, wanting someone to notice me
Even if it means violence, I will make my presence known
My everlasting affair
It all went too far, everyone turning against me
Hating this life, knowing that this wouldn't satisfy
The bottle wouldn't help, and drugs will never be an option
What else is left? I don't know, why don't you tell me?
I needed life, I needed something that would heal me
I needed a love that was better than life itself
Will the doors be open if I walk myself right through?
A man is waiting for me, is this right have I found God?
Yeah, have I found God or has God found me?
Yeah, have I found God or has God found me?
I needed life, I needed something that would heal me
I needed a love that was better than life itself
Will the doors be open if I walk myself right through?
A man is waiting for me, yes that's right. God found me
