And when it hurts you know they love to tell you
How they warned you
They say "Don't be surprised at someone's lies"
They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better than their best

And so you stand here with the years ahead
Potentially calling
With open heart or with a spirit dead
You walk on

Chorus :

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart
Dare to feel
Take the chance
Make the deal

Being an island
Shying from trying
Seems the easy way
Such an easy way
But there's no future without tears

(Chorus)

But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better than their best

(Chorus)

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

(Repeat last section three times and fade)
