It's familiar territory these days, struggle, confusion, and constantly feeling this way.
Maybe if I just hang on long enough, if I put on a brave enough face,
I always thought I could handle this life, but I cannot continue at this pace.
I always thought I could handle this life, but I cannot continue at this pace.
Someday I'll change, one day everyone will be happy with me,
That was the fantasy world mentality, now it's time for reality.
I'm tired of the fighting, the agony and the blame,

I'm tired of the fighting, the agony and the blame,
Blame is useless because no matter how you look at it, the end result is the same.
A broken heart will walk away, giving a new love a chance,
Going back to what once was is not an option, for it would be the same old song and dance.

Can't you see that it's too tiring to maintain the love of two,
Soon your heart will mend and you'll find happiness, that's what I hope for you.

As they say, remember the good times, and although that's hard to do,
That's my way of dealing with everything that has happened, and all we've been through.
Let's part ways now, and maybe someday we'll meet again,
In a different place, a different time and we can start over and be friends.
Starting over is a gift, not a luxury, and I realize that now,
I'm taking a chance and trusting in something new and I hope it works out somehow.
I'm going to live life the way that I choose and hopefully it will be the right way,
True happiness can be achieved and I hope we will all find it someday.
That's all for now, say goodbye and turn away,
It's time for everyone to regain their sanity now, and this time the sanity is here to stay."
