Through The Pain

On the Chicago River after dark
We watch the city lights tear the sky apart
The wind was blowing her hair around
As the scenery explodes  
I'll tell you how
I fell into an old cliche
Always on the road  only halfway sane
No hospital can fix what I've become  
I've trapped myself in a ring of fire  
If I say I'm okay  I'm also a liar  
The only way out is through the pain  
How  am I gonna get through this  
I got so low that I get high
Just to sit and watch the miles go by  
Now I'm cold and sweaty with a nauseous heart
I got a million addictions wearing me down  
I fell into an old cliche
Always on the road only halfway sane
I've trapped myself in a ring of fire  
If I say I'm okay  I'm also a liar  
The only way out is through the pain  
And as I write these words  
my hands start to shake
With trouble sneaking in not a second too late  
The only way out is through the pain  
Tomorrow I'll start again  
And now I'm begging for help
I know I can't get up
Gotta face this one all alone  
And if I don't make it  
Remember that I'll always be a part of you  
I've trapped myself in a ring of fire  
If I say I'm okay  I'm also a liar  
The only way out is through the pain  
And as I write these words  
my hands start to shake
With trouble sneaking in not a second too late  
The only way out is through the pain  
Tomorrow I'll start again
