Put all the pain you gave to me on
Display/But didn’t
Realize/Instead of setting it free/
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away, never goes away
___________________________________________
You say you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you
And you think there's not enough love
And no one to give it to
And you're sure you've hurt for so long
You've got nothing left to lose
So you say you're not going to fight
Because no one will fight for you

You say the weight of the world
Has kept you from letting go
And you think compassion's a flaw
And you'll never let it show
And you're sure you've hurt in a way
That no one will ever know
But someday the weight of the world
Will give you strength to go
_______________________________________

I got a
Heart full of pain/head full of stress
Handful of anger/held in my chest
Uphill struggle/blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain/everything to fear
__________________________________________

Part of me won't go away
Every day reminded how much I hate it

I feel it every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

Too many times that I’ve
Held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say

One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not
Watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you’re on top
The next you’re not
Missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then it’s all gone
