What Life Has To Say - Original


Our mind works in the strangest ways When it comes to life And what defines our darkest hour And our gloomiest day And the deepest cut Like an unbearable wound That God sent our way Of wounds it does create What once felt like life as usual Filled with love and laughter That nobody could take away Turned out to be one big lie Of my blissfully ignorant life Waiting for the right moment Just to be played Your whole world turned upside down Everywhere you turn The hatred you feel inside Or just for the person whose religion Just got played You try to make your peace You try to move on But something from the past Continues to haunt Will not let you go on Or easily let you forget Like an unfinished business That will not be left unsaid No matter how hard you try Or try otherwise It will not just let you move on Like it has something important to say Without me it says I will not let you have a life It's something that needs to be said And you cannot just walk away This life that is sometimes a story of pain and sorrow This life that is sometimes a story of love and sweetness and tomorrow One thing though will always stay You neither can quit nor run away
