Only the young and the innocent Are born with trusting souls When light is strong to nurture them By example of they know But I had to learn before my time That beneath your many masks Therein the darkness deep within I fell victim to your past
[Pre-Chorus:] And I have lost And you have taken And I have learnt The hardest way
[Chorus:] My heart is breaking My world is crashing to the floor The part you've taken Is not forgiving anymore And some would say That's the price I've had to pay
I heard you release the demons Lock the door and eat the key With every blowing nightmare screaming You may as well have been killing me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Forgiveness is earned Lessons are learned I was the weak one But I am stronger now So much stronger now
[Chorus]
I took it to the limit But you were never really to stay Some would say That's the price I've had to pay
