Only the young and the innocent
Are born with trusting souls
When light is strong to nurture them
By example of they know
But I had to learn before my time
That beneath your many masks
Therein the darkness deep within
I fell victim to your past

And I have lost
And you have taken
And I have learnt
The hardest way

My heart is breaking
My world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken
Is not forgiving anymore
And some would say
That's the price I've had to pay

I heard you release the demon
Locked the door and eat the key
With every blowing nightmare screaming
You may as well have been kidding me

And I have lost
And you have taken
And I have learnt
The hardest way

My heart is breaking
My world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken
Is not forgiving anymore

I took it to the limit
But you were never really to stay
Some would say
That's the price I've had to pay

Forgiveness is earned
Lessons are learned
I was the weak one
But I am stronger now
So much stronger now

My heart is breaking
My world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken
Is not forgiving anymore (x2)

I took it to the limit
But you were never really to stay
Some would say
That's the price I've had to pay
