Bitter Path

I’ve had enough
Of all these empty words
This is not me giving up
This is me letting go
When hope is gone
There’s nowhere left to run
I’m not running anymore
This is where I stand my ground

For far too long complacency has been my only friend
And left me with sleepless nights that never seem to end
My God when did I become so heartless?
This can’t be what I’ve been living for

I swore this fire would never burn out
These days I see it lingering
Where are the hands that I have come to trust?

This means too much to me to let slip through my hands
And even when my strength fails me I will still stand
I will not be pushed aside
Hopelessness and emptiness have no place in me
This may be the death of me, so be it

I swore this fire would never burn out
These days I see it lingering
Where are the hands that I have come to trust?

For so long I wish that this cup could be passed from me
But now I am starting to see this has been what set me free
And even though I may not understand why I walk down this bitter path,
Full of my regret
I can trust that I am never alone

I am never alone
I am never alone
