I’ve spent so much time looking for the answers

But the one question never asked

Was if I was asking the right questions

I stay strong and press on

What little hope I have has to be enough

Enough to get me through

Everyday I push myself to smile

Because I know I deserve to

I’ve learned to forgive myself

No more regrets from mistakes I’ve made

Now I’m trying to forgive them

And drain my soul of all this hate

It’s a shame that when a person leaves themselves open

They get used, neglected and end up broken

We place the blame on the shoulders of the pure

Then leave them alone to fight their internal war

But even though we’re living in a time

Where compassion is futile

I’ll still care

Even though we’re consumed with

Trivial power

I’ll still help

Even though by our own fault

We have made love evasive

I will still love

And even when we’re weak

And become so disenchanted

I will still hope
