Lyrics

Tested and Able

Break away with me
Carry your love, carry your peace
Cast a light that shines
All of your days, all of your nights
Break away with me
Leave nothing to hold, together we go
Leave it all behind
What will we gain or what will we find?

Oh, I saw what you did
You were tested and you were able
Now we can see eye-to-eye
That it's all just in the past anyway
Oh, what you lost you had gained
You were kind, but the world was painful

Take this dance with me
Oh, without you, I am nothing
Push the hurt away
The further it goes
The memories fade

Oh, I saw what you did
You were tested and you were able
Now we can see eye-to-eye
That it's all just in the past anyway
Oh, what you lost you had gained
You were kind, but the world was painful

I know you always fear the worst
Let go, this doesn't have to hurt
This road is paved with empty words
I hope in time you live and learn

Oh, I saw what you did
You were tested and you were able
Now we can see eye-to-eye
That it's all just in the past anyway
Oh, what you lost you had gained
You were kind, but the world was painful
Now we can see eye-to-eye
That it's all just in the past anyway
