When it hurts to be out there Where no one will care I've got the solace of you Frustrated by people's lying But I keep on trying I've got the solace of you When I can't think straight And there's no escape I've got the solace of you Gotta go inside back where it started Back to the beginning 'Cause that's where my heart is They can hurt me, jail my body I'll still be free I've got the solace of you They can take my land Tell me I'm not who I am I've got the solace of you A wise man said to know thyself 'Cause in the end there's no one else Just the solace of you Gotta go inside back where it started Back to the beginning 'Cause that's where my heart is Gotta go inside Back to the beginning
