That no love is worth the hate that you feel
Now you're running out of pain
And all these feelings feel the same
So you close your eyes... and wish it all away
*Chourus*
And I lie awake… and I try to say
Anything I know… just to ease your pain
But you hide away… where no one can see
And it's only you… that can set you free*
Now the time has come again
So you reach deep down within
To find the strength that you have buried there
As you turn to walk away… you can still hear Him say
You'll never make it… in this world alone
*And I lie awake… and I try to say
Anything I know …just to ease your pain
But you hide away… where no one can see
And it's only you… that can set you free*
You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)
You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)
And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free...yeah...yeah
Set you free...yeah…yeaaaah...set you free
** It was written for a friend of mine who had some dealings
with abuse. It wasn’t him directly but someone who was close
to him was dealing greatly with physical abuse and he
approached me and asked that I would write a song for him.
Kind of from him to this person saying, I wanna help but you’re
not letting me and you’re the only one who can help yourself.
So it’s an anthem to those who are abused telling them you
have to stand up for yourself in order to make things better.
