Bitter Path

I've had enough of all these empty words
 This is not me giving up, this is me letting go
 When hope is gone there's nowhere left to run
 I'm not running anymore, this is where I stand my ground
 For far too long complacency has been my only friend
 And left me with sleepless nights that never seem to end
 My God, when did I become so heartless?
 This can't be what I've been living for
 I swore this fire would never burn out
 These days I see it lingering
 Where are the hands that I have come to trust?
 This means to much to me to let slip through my hands
 And even when my strength fails me I will still stand
 I will not be pushed aside
 Hopelessness and emptiness have no place in me
 This may be the death of me, so be it
 I swore this fire would never burn out
 These days I see it lingering
 Where are the hands that I have come to trust?
 For so long I wish that this cup could be passed from me
 But now I am starting to see, it has been what set me free
 And even though I may not understand why I walk down this bitter path
 Full of my regret I can trust that I am never alone
 I am never alone, I am never alone
