Rédemption - The Art of Loss lyrics

Shaken - blind to your deceit
But, I finally learned that there
Won't be a happy ending
Meeting your stare, there's no answer there
Yet it's clear on your face that
There isn't a happy ending

Sometimes it pays not to give up
But it heightens the pain when all is lost

Falling, totally out of reach
And I can't return
So there won't be a happy ending
Is it my destiny? A fate
That's designed for me?
Must I accept that there
Isn't a happy ending?
Sometimes it pays not to give up
But it heightens the pain when all is lost

We can try to insulate ourselves
But there's a truth that we can't hide
Unless we open up ourselves to pain
We never truly are alive

Choices all along the way
Shape what will come
So there might be a happy ending
I have my will, and sometimes my way
In control of my view
I will make my own happy ending

We can try to insulate ourselves
But there's a truth that we can't hide
Unless we open up ourselves to pain
We never truly are alive
With realization comes empowerment
And the truth will set me free
I'm an author in my story
And it's end depends on me
