I’d rather not walk along this familiar path
But what other choice do I have
I know there’s no way back from here
But I have to do this in spite of my fear
So I’ll walk up there with my head held high
Even though everyone sees right through my pride
There’s no way back from here
No more time to fear
No more opportunity for tears
But their anger is as much a weakness
As my crying is
There is where I will get to them
Take it all away and give them a second chance (like I wish they would have given me)
But make it clear that I may not show the same mercy
if they’d ever try to hurt me
again
I know if I would not go back there again
It’s still the same way that I’m heading
I long to turn around run and hide away
But I know destiny will find me anyway
So I’ll have to face what I’ve left behind
And change the things that I don’t like
The hand now offered might pull away
But I can’t afford to be afraid
It feels like I’m digging my own grave
Like I’m signing my life away
And even as it really is like a death wish
I will seal this deathly pact with a poisonous kiss
There’s no way back from here
No more time to fear
No more opportunity for tears
But their anger is as much a weakness
As my crying is
There is where I will get to them
Take it all away and give them a second chance (like I wish they would have given me)
But make it clear that I may not show the same mercy
if they’d ever try to hurt me
again
