Every day I hear it
Whispers in the shadows
Telling me to bear it
Reasons I can't fathom

Pain is just a teacher
Life's a lesson learned
Scars they make us stronger
These excuses burn

Excuses for suffering
They're echoing in my mind
Finding strength in struggle
Or so they want me to find

Hardships build our courage
That's what they all say
But living through this torment
I wish it'd go away

Stories to make you handle
The weight that's on your heart
But every little fable
Tears my soul apart

Excuses for suffering
They're echoing in my mind
Finding strength in struggle
Or so they want me to find
