It's unsuspecting; it seems to find us now
When we least suspect, it tries to pull us down
Agonizing the pain, this loss of life
Rips through us now, this is our fight

Everything's a painful reminder
How could the world do this to me
And when I reach out to find you
This world has taken you from me

And if I ever said our time was not well spent
Those are the times I wish for now, it's my lament
It is the crown I wear, it is the crown of shame
Guilt I carry, to the world I place the blame

I've gotta keep pushing and fighting, and moving on
(when the pain is all I see)
I've gotta keep moving forward and moving on
(when the pain is all I need)
I've gotta keep pushing and fighting, and moving on
(when the pain is all I see)
I've gotta keep moving forward and moving on
(when the pain is all I need)
(The pain is all I need)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everything's a painful reminder
How could the world do this to me
And when I reach out for you
This world has taken you from me

(I've gotta keep living for you)
They can't take you from me
(And as I scream out to you)
I hope that you hear me

And if I ever said our time was not well spent
Those are the times I wish for now, it's my lament
It is the crown I wear, it is the crown of shame
Guilt I carry, to the world I place the blame
To the world I place the blame
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Everything's a painful reminder
How could the world do this to me
And when I reach out for you
This world has taken you from me

(I've gotta keep living for you)
They can't take you from me
(And as I scream out to you)
I hope that you hear me
(I've gotta keep living for you)
The pain is all I need
(And as I scream out to you)
The pain is all I need
Hope is all I see
