Close Your Eyes - Bitter Path lyrics

I've had enough of all these empty words!
This is not me giving up
This is me letting go
When hope is gone there's nowhere left to run
I'm not running anymore this is
Where I stand my ground!

For far too long complacency has
Been my only friend
And left me with sleepless nights
That never seem to end
My God when did I become so heartless?
This can't be what I've been living for!

I swore this fire would never burn out
These days I see it lingering
Where are the hands that I
Have come to trust?

This means to much to me to
Let slip through my hands
And even when my strength fails
Me I will still stand
I will not be pushed aside
Hopelessness and emptiness have no
Place in me
This may be the death of me, so be it

For so long I wish that this
Cup could be passed from me
But now I am starting to see this
Has been what set me free
And even though I may not understand why
I walk down this bitter path
Full of my regret
I can trust that I am never alone
