SOUR   GRAPES
(SOMETIMES LIFE SUCKS... SOMETIMES WE JUST THINK IT DOES)

you don't want to cry
or squeeze a sour grape
but it takes some time
to overcome a rape
to regain your soul
to regain control
to believe in yourself again
I know

you don't want to die
but it feels like a lie
to try to live
to put on a smile
to find confidence
and security
to feel comfortable
oh I know

healing
takes time
healing
takes love
healing
takes trust

and when there's no time, no love, no trust
when all you feel is numb
or like a sour grape
whatever may come
what's to become of you
what to do

you don't want to cry
but can you feel pure again
can you feel clean again
can you just feel comfortable
with yourself
prayers won't change a thing
nothing will
I know

you don't want to die
but it feels like goodbye
to all the hopes and dreams
to used to be your high
now what do you deserve
have you lost your nerve
to feel comfortable
oh I know

everything that mattered
ownership of self
trust and security
betrayed and forsaken
spoiled and corrupted
and no matter how anyone tries
no matter how much anyone gives
no one can love you
no one can trust you
until you can love and trust yourself
to live

healing
takes time
healing
takes love
healing
takes trust

and it seems like it may never come again
you just want to start over again
all you feel is numb
or like a sour grape
whatever may come
what's to become of you
what to do

healing
takes time
healing
takes love
healing
takes trust

and you feel like you may never come again
you just want to feel comfortable
all you feel is numb
or like...

I know

damn it, fight it, rise above it
it doesn't matter how
it doesn't matter if you think you can't
just do it right now

healing
takes time
healing
takes love
healing
takes trust
healing

takes time
