I must have been too stupid

I must have been so out of touch

He must have been so clever

convincing me that this was really love

Desperate for words, lost in a maze It fell apart

I lost my place It hurt so bad

I cried for days

Time healed all pain

now I’m OK

How many times can my heart break?

Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love

Will I ever get there?

Or am I drowning in quicksand with no relief to come?

Desperate for words, lost in a maze

It fell apart

I lost my place It hurt so bad

I cried for days

Time healed all pain, now I’m OK

I rise from all my sorrow

I let the sunshine on my face

I rise from all my sorrow

I let the sunshine on my face

All alone in comfort

It’s my solitude

I will embrace

I will rise from the sorrow

I will rise from the sorrow
