Like Morning Follows Night

You don't know what it's like to live in shadows

Always regretting what you've done

Spending time counting every little mistake

Knowing it's always easier to run

You don't have to spend your life looking backward

We've been through this over and over again

You can't just wish it away

The past is the past, it'll never change

That was before

This is now and when

We have a chance to make it better if we try

Oh, but I will not endanger one more friend

You're free to do the things you want

But listen, so am I

I've made my choice

And now I'm making mine

Go where you need to

Know I won't leave you

I'll follow you like morning follows night

You can run 'til your pain's through

One thing I won't do

Is to let you go alone to face the fight

Hard to know where to turn when your life's a disaster

Trying to start all over again

So much shame, so much time that just feels wasted

Feeling like now could never make up for them

Life's not a game you can play to get even

We all make mistakes but we need to move on

I know that you hate where you strayed

Forgiving yourself is the only way

Just look ahead

Yesterday is gone

I know you think you're being selfless but you're not

I refuse to risk another's pain again

The pain is when you shut me out

And take off on your own

No matter what

You'll never walk alone

See you'll never understand

What I feel, what I see

What's going through my mind

How it feels being me

All the struggles, all the fights

Long days, longer nights

Trying to search for this happiness

Lost in the light

But it seems like it's all just out of my sight

Just out of my reach

Can't seem to get right

Like I'm cursed with the turbulence placed in my life
