I just found out that I'm strong enough To get up and walk away The boy that you knew is not here today He's sorting out the mess he's made And the only way out -- Through the tears and the doubt -- Is a road paved with loss and pain So if I ever come around When I finally hit the ground You'll know it when you hear the sound Why do you stand in the line of fire When you know it burns? Why are you dreaming of a finish line When there's much to learn -- So much left to learn? You're giving it all away For somebody else to know your pain But don't let go You helped me back onto my feet I let my failures swallow everything Now there's no one to hold I'm on my own Finding my way back home And if I make it alone to a new plateau Maybe you'll get why I had to go 'Cuz despite what I did And all that was said It's better this way in the end 'Cuz all you ever do is weigh me down Why do you stand in the line of fire When you know it burns? Why are you dreaming of a finish line When there's much to learn -- So much left to learn? You're giving it all away For somebody else to know your pain But don't let go You are much more than you think you are You're stronger than you say you are Even when you fall apart But don't let go
