You've been picking fights with shadows twice your size
Using candlelight to dance with your disguise
When those rumors grow and silence sweeps this town
You never care enough to try and choke them down

Now there's nowhere left to run
Even the stars aren't out tonight
When it's all been said and done
You can't help but wonder why

You gotta break a few good hearts along the way
To find someone who makes you wanna stay
If you could do it all again
There's not a thing that you would change
You gotta break a few good hearts along the way

You stood toe to toe with every doubt you had
And learned to shine a light on things that make you sad
But looking for a better way around
Never seems to slow you down
When you've come this far
The pain ain't all that bad
