There was once a light inside of me

But lately I see it's dimmed out slowly

And I fight, I kick, I yell I scream

That what is happening

Well it can't be really

And as I go along

I'm finding the ground below

You can get ripped out

From under your feet

The light around you

Turned out blinding

The darkness is a

More honest place to be

[Chorus]

And I want to find in me

That I can still believe

And be forgiving

Yes I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving

There was once a friend inside of me

But lately I see there is an enemy

I fight, I kick, I yell, I scream

What is happening

But no one hears me

And I go along finding

The friends I thought I had

They weren't good friends at all

No I don't really need reminding

I'm much too jaded and much to cynical

[Chorus]

Yes I want to find in me

That I can still believe

And be forgiving

And I want to be like you

Can you teach me how to be forgiving
