The Concrete Flower Lyrics

Why fight...
In a world that's given up, if hope is really lost, why show the love I was denied?
Why fight...
If hate rules everything, if nothing is worth saving, then what's the point?

Why fight the way I feel inside?
Please don't make me a liar,
Why should it even matter?
I'm so bitter and so tired,
So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight.

Who knew having a heart could be a curse?
And that trying to help only makes things worse?
I try to smile but my eyes scream hate,
And loving anything will only end in pain.

How can I love when I never let anyone inside,
Burned one too many times,
I'm no defeatist but lets call it what it is,
A world damned, a world that's given up,
No signs of hope and no signs of love,
in a world so full of hate, how could anyone rise above?

Why fight the way I feel inside?
Please don't make me a liar,
Why should it even matter?
I'm so bitter and so tired,
So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight,
Tonight could change my life.

In a world so full of hate, how can anyone rise above?
In a world so full of hate, how can I feel anything but lost?

In the land of the lost,
In the land of broken promises,
the land of lies and lust,
I found a truth in my pain,
And the strength to start again,
Tonight could change my life.

Why fight the way I feel inside?
Please don't make me a liar,
Why should it even matter?
I'm so bitter and so tired,
So tired of smiling through this pain, with no end in sight.
In a world so full of hate, how could anyone rise above?
In a world so full of hate, how could anyone rise above?
In a world that chooses hate, I choose love. I choose love.
