if you never cross the road you'll never see the other side
if you never bear the load you'll never toughen up your hide
only on your darkest days will you appreciate the light
if you refuse all other ways you'll never know if yours was right
you've got an image of yourself painted by the ones who speak
they choose their words so carefully and mould your confidence with ease
bending the truth and feeding your ego
they train your hands to suit their needs
but when the pedestal gets pulled they break your knees from underneath
bad news - just around the bend
bad news - better get used to it
when it happens to you - you'll never be the same again
bad news
