And when it hurts you know they love to tell you

How they warned you

They say "Don't be surprised at someone's lies"

They think they taunt you

But if you can stand the test

You know your worst is better than their best



And so you stand here with the years ahead

Potentially calling

With open heart or with a spirit dead

You walk on



Chorus :



Lies the reason

Faith or treason

Playing a part

End concealing

Try revealing

Open your heart

Dare to feel

Take the chance

Make the deal



Being an island

Shying from trying

Seems the easy way

Such an easy way

But there's no future without tears



(Chorus)



But if you can stand the test

You know your worst is better than their best



(Chorus)



Lies the reason

Faith or treason

Playing a part

End concealing

Try revealing

Open your heart
