Growing up was easy, slowing down was hard
yesterday was simple, today I’ve come apart but I can’t run away from this
take down all the pictures I’m left with empty frame,
I have put my trust in those who hasten to betray, but I can’t run away from this
but I’m struggling to exist
despite the darkness rolling in, despite unbridled pain
when nothing else remains, you will sustain
when everything has changed you will sustain
kneeling at the bed post a prayer for every breath
and it may take me years to learn that life can come from death
but I won’t run away from this, you give me the hope I’ve missed
despite the darkness rolling in, despite unbridled pain
when nothing else remains, you will sustain
when everything has changed you will sustain
And the fairytale is nowhere to be found,
I am grounded in my need for you
every step I take is the proof
despite the darkness rolling in, despite unbridled pain
when nothing else remains, you will sustain
when everything has changed you will sustain
