Justify the Pain

It’s not easy being here anymore We know love’s the answer and fates the cure We’ve both been through more Than our hearts should endure Our minds both fight the same endless war We’re both finding ways to justify the pain And any day now we’ll put an end to this rain The promises we make are only footsteps away But for now we’re here trying to justify the pain We’ve both fallen and can’t get back up With any luck hope can be our crutch Instead of being stuck In this same old rut Maybe someday we’ll admit we’ve had enough We’re both finding ways to justify the pain And any day now we’ll put an end to this rain The promises we make are only footsteps away But for now we’re here trying to justify the pain I won’t ever say two wrongs make a right But we’ve both been guided by a light Through all the sleepless nights Through all the pain and strife Somehow we still justify the pain We’re both finding ways to justify the pain And any day now we’ll put an end to this rain The promises we make are only footsteps away But for now we’re here trying to justify the pain It’s a shame we stay and look for ways To justify the pain
