The Other Side of Pain

I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake

If all the scars could speak, if you could live my life
If all the trauma talked, you'd wonder how I'm still alive
If all the secrets screamed, if you could read my mind
You'd see the memories and wonder how I'm still alive

I don't know (I don't know)
If karma's close (karma's close)
But all I know (all I know)
Is I've come too far to just let go

Don't know when I'll beat what's in my brain
Don't know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain

Don't know when the trauma's finally tame
Don't know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain
And that's why I stay

If core beliefs broke skin, if thoughts could testify
You'd find the evidence and wonder how I'm still alive
If every cut confessed, if you could see through lies
You'd know what I've suppressed and wonder how I'm still alive

The only thing that keeps me sane
When everything I hate won't change
Is I'd rather live with maybes than decide it all was vain

Don't know when I'll beat what's in my brain
Don't know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain

Don't know when the trauma's finally tame
Don't know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain
And that's why I stay

Wouldn't call it faith, but I'll do my time
Even if I have to be the answers I can't find
Wouldn't call it hope, but if there's more to life
I'll never know it if I give into goodbye

I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
(Make me a permanent mistake)

Don't know when I'll beat what's in my brain
Don't know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain

Don't know when the trauma's finally tame
Don't know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don't live to see
The other side of pain
And that's why I stay

I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won't let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake

I don't know, I don't know
If karma's close, karma's close
But all I know, all I know
Is I've come too far to just let go

I don't know, I don't know
If karma's close, karma's close
But all I know, all I know
Is I've come too far to just let go

I don't know, I don't know
If karma's close, karma's close
But all I know, all I know
Is I've come too far to just let go

I don't know, I don't know
If karma's close, karma's close
But all I know, all I know
Is I've come too far...
