The Wayside
Finding Light in Heartache: The Wayside's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I know what you're feeling
I understand the emotions you are experiencing
Deep in your bones
Profoundly, at a fundamental level within yourself
You're tired of waiting and fighting alone
You're weary of waiting and battling in isolation
And hearing that time will fix it all
Hearing that time will resolve everything
Could send your fist right through a wall
Could evoke a strong, possibly violent reaction
It's harder at night
It's more challenging during the night
You'll wake in the morning
Upon waking in the morning
And still it will hurt
The pain persists
For all of the heartache
Despite the intense emotional distress
We haven't a cure
There's no known remedy for the heartache
But maybe there's healing to be found
However, perhaps healing can be discovered
Within your favorite record's sound
Within the comforting sound of your favorite music
Sing it again
Reiterate the comforting experience
There's no need to fake it
No need to pretend or hide true feelings
All this pretending keeps you on the floor
Pretending only keeps you in a difficult situation
Sing it again
Repeat the comforting experience
There's no need to fake it
Authenticity is essential; hiding won't lead to growth
If you keep hiding, you'll never see the stars
If you continue to conceal, you'll miss opportunities
Sing it again
Reiterate the comforting experience
Maybe tomorrow
Possibly, in the future
The light will replace all of the darkness
Light may replace the prevailing darkness
And you can escape
You can break free
Run from the teeth of shattered love
Escape the pain of broken love
But only once you've had enough
But only after you've reached a breaking point
You feel it
You sense it
The sun's coming out
The arrival of better times
And all the hell you went through
All the difficulties you endured
All the time spent on the ground is over for now
The time spent in a challenging situation is temporarily over
