time after time I decide this would be my last time
and again I will feel the bitter disappointment
faith isn't all that I lost in this battlefield of souls

was it mine, maybe yours, that I have missed the most
trust is unknown, I will never know how much it would mean to me

all I see is a river of broken promises
Blame is my chain, and the pain that I feel in my head
this mounting pressure is killing me
It's never going to break me - I've heard it all before

I will go on fighting - I guess you mean it more
I need you beside me - I can't do it anymore
Someday I will break free - you've been to hell and back

Fight after fight it strikes me down, but I try to find my strength
to confront this agony over and over again

Hope is the force that keeps me beside you and holds on to you
and I know that you would never let it go
Distress in excess is never going to conquer my heart

I will fight till the last breath before I die
Though, I'm in awe of you and the demons you feel in your head
They keep on suffocating me
It's never going to break me - I've heard it all before

I will go on fighting - I guess you mean it more
I need you beside me - I can't do it anymore
Someday I will break free - you've been to hell and back
