"The Price I've Had To Pay" Lyrics

Only the young and the innocent
Are born with trusting souls
When light is strong to nurture them
By example of they know
But I had to learn before my time
That beneath your many masks
Therein the darkness deep within
I fell victim to your past
And I have lost, and you have taken
And I have learnt the hardest way

My heart is breaking, my world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken is not forgiving anymore
And some would say, that's the price I've had to pay

I heard you release the demons
Locked the door and eat the key
With every blowing nightmare
You may as well have been killing me
And I have lost, and you have taken
And I have learnt the hardest way

My heart is breaking, my world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken is not forgiving anymore
I took it to the limit but you were never willing to stay
Some would say that's the price I've had to pay

Forgiveness is earned, lessons are learned, I was the weak one
But I am stronger now, so much stronger now

My heart is breaking, my world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken is not forgiving anymore
My heart is breaking, my world is crashing to the floor
The part you've taken is not forgiving anymore
I took it to the limit but you were never willing to stay
Some would say, that's the price I've had to pay
