## Lyrics

Trying to find my way

Don't have the words to say

Lost in all it could've been

Fear of darkness sinking in

I made it out but lost myself again

I used to be so brave

You saw it on my face

Every time you threw it in

Watched me sink when you could swim

I knew that word was coming any day

I take it all in

I search for love within

I've gone so far from home

Now I walk this road alone

And in these passing nights

I've made myself a light

The pain is just a way

I know love was real that day

I didn't want to go

But this is all I know

I've gotta get on with life

And so

I take it all in

I wash away the sin

I lost your love today

Know I had to walk away

Well, it's not the same

Every passing day

Moments come on back to me

Memories that I couldn't keep

Wish I'd go and warn myself back then

I take it all in

I search for love within

I've gone so far from home

Now I walk this road alone

And in these passing nights

I've made myself a light

The pain is just a way

I know love was real that day

I didn't want to go

But this is all I know

I've gotta get on with life

And so

I take it all in

I wash away the sin

I lost your love today

Know I had to walk away

I had to walk away

I had to walk away

I had to walk away

I had to walk away

I take it all in

I search for love within

I've gone so far from home

Now I walk this road alone

And in these passing nights

I've made myself a light

The pain is just a way

I know love was real that day

I didn't want to go

But this is all I know

I've gotta get on with life

And so

I take it all in

I wash away the sin

I lost your love today

Know I had to walk away
