|
I am weighed down by this pain |
|
I am blackened by this stain |
|
But I can't complain |
|
We have to choose and deal with the rest |
|
I must meet this challenge |
|
I must pass this test |
|
Have to work with what |
|
I've got Have to walk before |
|
I run No point in always looking back |
|
The past can't be undone |
|
And I have this cross to bear |
|
Can't pretend it isn't there |
|
Trust, once broken, so difficult to repair |
|
Trust me, though |
|
To try and make it there |
|
Life is truth and dare |
|
We have to choose and deal with the rest |
|
In this labyrinth of options |
|
This pitfall ridden quest |
|
Have to work with what |
|
I've got Have to walk before |
|
I run No point in always looking back |
|
The past can't be undone |
|
And I have this cross to bear |
|
Can't pretend it isn't there |
|
The nails are driven in |
|
But not all the way |
|
There's no tragic necessity |
|
Tomorrow can be a better day |
|
So here I sit, alone |
|
Peruse my thoughts, survey my heart |
|
And work to reconstruct |
|
This whole that's splintered into parts |
|
Life is a dare |
|
We have to choose and deal with the rest |
|
I must meet this challenge |
|
I must pass this test |
|
Have to work with what |
|
I've got Have to walk before |
|
I run No point in always looking back |
|
The past can't be undone |
|
And I have this cross to bear |
|
Can't pretend it isn't there: |
|
Yet this pain behind your stare |
|
Shows the depth of how much you care |
