The Price We Pay
If I knew then what I know now
I wouldn’t be me
I’d be someone else
How can I see that all this
Is meant to be, even the stuff
That stings and burns
The price we pay
The pain that stays
Lingering
How hard we try to rub out the stains
Denying our history
The tears that tear
We pull back
At the thought of it
And leave joy untouched
The price we pay
The pain that stays
Lingering
Embrace the Paradox
