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
And I have lost And you have taken And I have learnt The hardest way
My heart is breaking My word 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 Locked the door and eat the key With every blowing nightmare You may as well have been killing me
And I have lost And you have taken And I have learnt The hardest way
My heart is breaking My word 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 took it to the limit But you were never really to stay Some would say That's the price I've had to pay
Forgiveness is earned Lessons are learned I was the weak one But I am stronger now So much stronger now
And I have lost And you have taken And I have learnt The hardest way
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
