Like Morning Follows Night

You don't know what it's like to live in shadows
Always regretting what you've done
Spending time counting every little mistake
Knowing it's always easier to run

You don't have to spend your life looking backward
We've been through this over and over again
You can't just wish it away
The past is the past, it'll never change
That was before
This is now and when

We have a chance to make it better if we try
Oh, but I will not endanger one more friend
You're free to do the things you want
But listen, so am I
I've made my choice
And now I'm making mine

Go where you need to
Know I won't leave you
I'll follow you like morning follows night
You can run 'til your pain's through
One thing I won't do
Is to let you go alone to face the fight

Hard to know where to turn when your life's a disaster
Trying to start all over again
So much shame, so much time that just feels wasted
Feeling like now could never make up for them

Life's not a game you can play to get even
We all make mistakes but we need to move on
I know that you hate where you strayed
Forgiving yourself is the only way
Just look ahead
Yesterday is gone

I know you think you're being selfless but you're not
I refuse to risk another's pain again
The pain is when you shut me out
And take off on your own
No matter what
You'll never walk alone

See you'll never understand
What I feel, what I see
What's going through my mind
How it feels being me
All the struggles, all the fights
Long days, longer nights
Trying to search for this happiness
Lost in the light
But it seems like it's all just out of my sight
Just out of my reach
Can't seem to get right
Like I'm cursed with the turbulence placed in my life
Can't push and pull it
Stuck up in this bull pit
Cycle of pain
All the stress in my brain
I'm just trying to maintain
'Cause I'm going insane
But no matter what I do
The cries go unheard
Yet I still believe in you
Every breath, every word
Every smile, every glance
Could be another chance
That you finally see the love that is me
So until that time
I'll follow every day
Every step of the way
And continue to say

Go where you need to
Know I won't leave you
I'll follow you like morning follows night
You can run 'til your pain's through
One thing I won't do
Is to let you go alone to face the fight
