Allie Heagle - Work of Art Lyrics

Here's a quick story on how my life changed
I don't know how yet but I'm changing my ways

I preached good vibes, convinced myself I was happy
All the while my world was collapsing
I lost my way, fell in love with a needle
Let that control me it could've been lethal
Flash forward and I was hospitalized
I spent New Years with people who hated being alive
Once I got out my driving force was my man, I had to get sober for my future with him
Like a house and maybe a kid, little had I know we would never speak again
Our last conversation we talked about a ring
He promised that I'd never lose him and that he loved me
A couple days passed and I was really worried
His mother confirmed it his heart stopped beating
19 years old his birthday was in 9 days
To this day I'm in excruciating pain
This same pain caused me to run away
7 days passed and no one heard from me
Every night that week I slept where he died
My parents called me we came to terms on my life
Everyday's a battle but I know that I'm strong

That's the short version of How the universe tested me
I'm gonna get through this and finally be happy
My life's a work of art, and I'm gonna keep painting
