Twelve whole years of heartbreak, twelve whole years of pain,
And twelve whole years of falling down, bouncing back again,
Sometimes I've been lazy, sometimes I have cried,
Things I've done have gone so wrong, but I can say I tried.

The road I take is never easy,
The road I take can sometimes hurt,
Through it all you take my hand,
Don't understand, but I know that it works.

All the little feelings that I have felt inside,
Haven't won them over; it's important that I tried,
It's been a constant battle to stay the narrow side,
I might have drifted once or twice, but I can say I tried.

The road I take is never easy,
The road I take can sometimes hurt,
Through it all you take my hand,
Don't understand, but I know that it works,
The road I take is never easy,
The road I take can sometimes hurt,
Through it all you take my hand,
Don't understand, but I know that it works.
