there's a thorn in my side  and I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a  battlefield  oh lord I try  I walk thru sunshine rain  in every forest there's a snake  and the apple of my eye  the pain it comes and goes  I always let myself down  how does the letting go  it's just that way  it takes time a friend of mine who's fallen down a  million times  told me feelings never go away you have to learn to  live this way  and keep yourself alive that's what he said.
