Felt the fool for far too long Took some time but now I'm strong Don't really matter who's right or wrong When you feel like I do Had your way with time to kill Crush ones dreams and break ones will Thought you'd won but I'm standing still Despite what you do [Pre-chorus] So I guess I'll hold on tight to what I have Though it's little And I guess I'll fight the fight although my will Has grown so brittle Well the strories the same and it does me no good Because you'd sell me your soul If you only could Take your blue skies, deceit and your lies And your cold eyes don't fool me no more Take your blue skies cause I don't want to be blue anymore Wounds will heal and lessons learn Ashes left where hopes all burned Stories change and pages turn Despite what you do [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Time may grant a brand new start But the answers in your heart Only I can find a way to make a new And tomorrow may bring fear At times too much to bear And that's where I rise again [Chorus]
