I've had enough of all these empty words! This is not me giving up; this is me letting go When hope is gone there's nowhere left to run I'm not running anymore; this is where I stand my ground! For far too long complacency has been my only friend And left me with sleepless nights that never seem to end My god when did I become so heartless? This can't be what I've been living for! I swore this fire would never burn out These days I see it lingering Where are the hands that I have come to trust? This means to much to me to let slip through my hands And even when my strength fails me I will still stand I will not be pushed aside Hopelessness and emptiness have no place in me This may be the death of me, so be it I swore this fire would never burn out These days I see it lingering Where are the hands that I have come to trust? For so long I wish that this cup could be passed from me But now I am starting to see it has been what set me free And even though I may not understand why I walk down this bitter path, full Of my regret I can trust that I am never alone I am never alone I am never alone
