| I’ll try to explain this
|
| You’ll understand if you’re chasing greatness
|
| The heartache, the mistakes
|
| Are a part of what it takes to make it
|
| I know you wanna play the part
|
| No giving up when it gets hard
|
| And so I’ll be the one to show you
|
| That pain defines you
|
| The pain defines you
|
| The river’s flowing over me
|
| I feel the current underneath
|
| So why do I feel safe
|
| When there’s no escaping?
|
| Your silence is deafening
|
| When help is all I need
|
| Why do I feel safe?
|
| 'Cause it’s the only way
|
| You want it, I’ve got it
|
| Even though they tried to leave me heartless
|
| Misguided, it’s said that
|
| You found yourself alone inside the darkness
|
| It’s hard to leave the ones you love
|
| But it’s a part of growing up
|
| And so I’ll be the one to show you
|
| That pain defines you
|
| The pain defines you
|
| The river’s flowing over me
|
| I feel the current underneath
|
| So why do I feel safe
|
| When there’s no escaping?
|
| Your silence is deafening
|
| When help is all I need
|
| Why do I feel safe?
|
| 'Cause it’s the only way
|
| I wanted to be someone who’d never let you down (let you down)
|
| But it’s better to try and fail than never try at all
|
| The river’s flowing over me
|
| I feel the current underneath
|
| So why do I feel safe
|
| When there’s no escaping?
|
| The river’s flowing over me
|
| I feel the current underneath
|
| So why do I feel safe
|
| When there’s no escaping?
|
| Your silence is deafening
|
| When help is all I need
|
| Why do I feel safe?
|
| 'Cause it’s the only way
|
| 'Cause it’s the only way (it's the only way)
|
| It’s the only way
|
| When there’s no escaping |
