| 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 |
