Of all the things I would love to do
Nothing gives me more pleasure than to rip off my wings and run to where I need to be
But something always breaks my legs and forces me to fly
Two years of anger
Two years of pain
Two years of living with unsolved questions
Two years of trudging through an unmistakable stain
Can I take your pain from you? I wish I could
Can we run away together and hide our faces? I thought we should
Could I let my sorrow and self-pity completely destroy the person I am? No I can't
Can I lay down and fight no more? No, I won't
Will you continue living like life is one big sore you just need to get through? No you won't because I won't let you
If I didn't know any better, I'd offer you empty words of consolement.
Words I think you want to hear
Words I think will wipe the hate clear
You are lucky, because you have me
When I went through this, I had no one you see
I can't give you the hope you need to survive
But I can help you through it one step at a time
Brother, hope doesn't come from me
It comes from you
Only you can see it through.
