The hardest thing I've ever had to do
Was disappear from view, and leave this all behind
The hardest thing I've ever had to face
Was someone in my place and running out of time
It's not like I'm looking for an easy way out
No need for sympathy, don't want no free rides
There's just so much of this that I could do without
But it seemed much easier to keep it all inside
I know I've got a way to go, but the way I go is up to me
I know I've got a road to choose but win or lose, it's up to me
It's up to me....
The hardest thing I've ever had to see
Was staring back at me, reflecting what I've done
The hardest thing I've ever had to say
Were thoughts that slipped away and words that never come
It's not like I'm thinking, I'm owed anything
I find no dignity hanging on a cross
I own the past and all the justice it brings
But I made it through, 'cause I mourned the loss at all costs
I know I've got a way to go, but the way I go is up to me
I know I've got a road to choose but win or lose, it's up to me
It's up to...
Me in my own time
With a greater will than mine
And I've held on so
But it only worked when I let it go
It's not like I'm looking for an easy out
But I made it through, 'cause I mourned the loss at all costs
I know I've got a way to go, but the way I go is up to me
I know I've got a road to choose but win or lose, it's up to me
It's up to me
