And when it hurts
You know they love to tell you
How they warned you
They say, "don't be surprised
At someone's lies"
They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better
Than their best

And so you stand here
With the years ahead
Potentially calling
With open heart
Or with a spirit dead
You walk on

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart
Dare to feel
Take the chance
Make the deal

Being an island
Shying from trying
Seems the easy way
Such an easy way
But there's no future
Without tears

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart
Dare to feel
Take the chance
Make the deal

But if you can't stand the test
You know your worst is better than
Their best

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
