So much in life is left unsaid
And yet I've come so close
So many times
To the last letter that my mind
Could ever write
Seemed justified

So many times I've failed the test
And found myself a liar
To forgive the faults and misery
I guess I grew too tired
Of it all

Days fade to a darker shade of gray
I lose control and soon enough
I've got to numb it all away

And in the morning light I wonder why
There's still a reason
Still a small flame
Left burning inside

There was never a clear answer
Or some righteous destiny
Nothing but a small exchange of words
Known to you and me
But no matter how far we fall
I believe in another way
I'm stronger than yesterday

No I'm not broken
Just got a lot on my mind
This promise spoken
Binds me to life
It's never easy

But we're not owed anything
