Stay with me

I know it stings, the pain you feel.
Its a shadow, faint, of what is real.
I've softened it, so healing finds its way.
Endure the scars that may never fade.

I am The Lady of Pain, through the dark, I'll lead.
Absorbing your sorrow in your time of need.
As I bare this pain, your strength will rise.
Its my role as you endure these times.

I know it stings, the pain you feel.
Its a shadow, faint, of what is real.
I've softened it, so your mind stays intact.
It will still hurt, but I've lessened the impact.

I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I'll ease your pain.
I am here, I will ease your pain.

Lyrics:

Waking up each morning
It's a fight
Burning bridges in the dead of night
Every step I take
Feels like a fall
But I won't back down
I'll give my all

Every road I choose is paved with pain
Through the storm and the pouring rain
Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning deep
But I'll keep swimming
I won't accept defeat

Life ain't easy
No
It ain't fair
But I won't let it drag me down
I swear
Gonna rise above
Gonna find my way
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day

(Instrumental)

Life ain't easy
It's a rocky road
Walkin' on the path
With a heavy load
The weight on my shoulders
It's hard to bear
But I gotta keep pushin'
I won't despair

(Instrumental)

Every day brings a new battle to fight
Sometimes it feels like I'm out of sight
But I won't give up
I won't back down
I'll keep on movin' in this crazy town

(Instrumental)

Life ain't easy
No
It ain't fair
But I won't let it drag me down
I swear
Gonna rise above
Gonna find my way
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day
I'll keep pushing through
Day by day
