[Verse 1] I love and hurt, I win and lose I’m not afraid of what to choose. Can’t bear a stale eventless life I need to grow, I need to thrive. [Pre-Chorus] If living means I have to part, If loving means I lose my heart, I’ll gladly walk the path of pain Of making friends, of growth and gain. Of feeling heartbreak, strain and grief From every time I have to leave [Chorus] I’d rather cry and shed my tears Than being stuck and bound by fears I’d rather burn with aching love Than simmering away… unloved. [Verse 2] I want to stay with what I know, Yet still my heart insists I go Towards the waters far ahead, Where future winds call me instead. [Verse 3] I’d rather ache from bonds so deep Than never love enough to weep. I’d rather touch the passion’s flame Than never make myself -- a name! [Pre-Chorus - building] If living means I have to part, If loving means I lose my heart, I’ll gladly walk the path of pain Of making friends, of growth and gain. Of feeling heartbreak, strain and grief From every time I have to leave [Chorus] I’d rather cry and shed my tears Than being stuck and bound by fears I’d rather burn with aching love Than simmering away… unloved. [Outro] Thank you for the loss Because it shows I’ve loved. Thank you for the pain Without it, there’s no gain Thank you for the home Where I was not alone! I’ve loved you from the start, I’ll keep you in my heart. [Final] I love and hurt, I win and lose, I’m not afraid of what to choose.
