Lessons learnt

I know if I never see the sun again, I'll learn to
cast my own light.
Looking in, this world has never seemed so dark,
but I still hold the hope I've had from the start.

(when they come for me, I'll be long gone)
To cease what's keeping us apart.
(when they come for me, I'll be long gone)
Don't you think we should've learnt by now?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?

You let me down, you've let yourself down
Going back on all the changes you've made
instills a sense of regret on all the time I
spent trying to show you the way
I won't let you start this all over again.

The biggest step
and the hardest stretch
is to find the peace
within ourselves... Because I've tried so many times,
just to watch you fall,
the past means nothing now,
it makes no sense at all.

The biggest step
the hardest stretch
to find the peace
within ourselves...

but it's the only option
that we have left.

I wonder if it's better off this way
Me on one side,
the world on the other
we can both be free forever.
Still, I wonder if it's better off this way,
Better off this way.
