I was alone
I was in flight
Hiding in the darkness from the endless night
I couldn't feel
I didn't care
Shot up on my music and I grew my hair
The ice couldn't last
Began to thaw
And somehow love crept in through my back door
And through her eyes
I discovered me
Hoped she'd stay forever so I'd always see
But what if I get hurt?
Seeds of doubt and fear
Breed impulses to run that whisper in my ear
I'm prepared to suffer - to hang in through the good and bad
I'm prepared to suffer, so I don't end up alone and sad
I'm prepared to suffer - the sun comes out after the rain
I'm prepared to suffer, 'cause joy's the other side of pain
A life without love would be tougher
So, I need to be prepared to suffer
Relationships are hard
And though I cared
It was easier to run away when I got scared
It was a mess
I didn't know
That to make it in this life you have to live and grow
Self-doubt and fear
Were ruling me
Don't listen to the whispers but believe in love's reality
Don't look for fun
Don't run from pain
Because running is the way to send love down the drain
I'm prepared to suffer - to hang in through the good and bad
I'm prepared to suffer, so I don't end up alone and sad
I'm prepared to suffer - the sun comes out after the rain
I'm prepared to suffer, 'cause joy's the other side of pain
A life without love would be tougher
So, I need to be prepared to suffer
