Steve Lungrin - The Answer Lyrics

Life is a series of ups and downs
It throws a curve every now and then
It leaves you wondering what you did
To deserve the lot you're in
I don't know if there's rhyme or reason
I don't know if I'd call it fate
But I know if you're not careful
You'll wind up full of hate

And I'm still searching for redemption
I'm still sifting through the pain
I'm still looking for a burning candle in the pouring rain
But I must be getting closer
Cuz I've finally come to see
The answer is forgiveness
First for you, and then for me

I'm still trying to make some sense now
I still wonder what went wrong
How could something fall to pieces
That lasted for so long
I've been wanting to point my finger
I've been looking for who to blame
Worried about who won or lost
Like it was some damn game

And I'm still searching for redemption
I'm still sifting through the pain
I'm still looking for a burning candle in the pouring rain
But I must be getting closer
Cuz I've finally come to see
The answer is forgiveness
First for you, and then for me

Since the day you left me
I've been mad and full of fear
But the one I've really been blaming
Is the one I see in the mirror

Yes I must be getting closer
Cuz I've finally come to see
The answer is forgiveness
First for you, and then for me
