The Price I've Had To Pay

Only the young and the innocent Are born with trusting souls Where light is strong to nurture them By example all they know But I had to learn before my time That beneath your many masks There in 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 hid the key With every blowing nightmare screaming You may as well have been kidding me And I have lost And you have taken I've had to learn the hardest way My heart is breaking My word 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 word is crashing to the floor The part you've taken is not forgiving anymore My heart is breaking My word 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
