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
