A crooked, winding path that leads me slowly to my fate
A journey of both bliss and pain that ends up at a gate
In my travels down this road I have made many foes and friends
And I've wondered endlessly who'd be beside me at the end
I'm cursed when love tears me apart
I'm bruised and covered up in scars
I'm cursed because I fall too hard
I'll never have a brand new start
Maybe one day we'll know exactly why it took so long
Why we kept on loving them when they all told us we were wrong
Why the people in our lives all tossed us out like broken toys
Why we searched but didn't find a thing amidst the crowds and noise
We're cursed when love tears us apart
We're bruised and covered up in scars
We're cursed because we fall too hard
We're all alone out in the dark
One day, my friend, the universe will greet us at death's door
And on that day we'll know why it was so damn hard before
To learn to live with doubt, with grief, with anguish, without love
Feeling everything at once as if the volume was turned up
We're blessed when it tears us apart
We're beautiful despite our scars
We're blessed when we fall way too hard
We made the most of each beat of our hearts
And at the end of everything, when we depart this earthly plane
And our souls forget the feelings of heartbreak and of pain
I'll be waiting on the other side, for better or for worse
To greet you with the stars, unless of course, you get there first
There are no second chances.
This world is not our home.
Our life is just a road we're on...
The destination is unknown.
