Analysis of Beyond Heartache
Why did you have to go away
I still miss you, your sweetness, your sway
You ruined everything, it's true
But we are both to blame, me and you
The chance for a new world, now spoiled
Thoughts and actions, both were foiled
Life is harsh, it's true we know
But excuses are no longer an option, it's time to let go
Why did it have to go this way
Even though we were apart, it still pains
Suffering is a part of life, it's true
But love, peace, and joy, can still come to you
Money can't buy happiness, it's true
But love, peace and joy, can be shared by me and you
As painful as it is, I must move on
Not caring if I try others along
Life encompasses more than hate
Selfishness and jealousy, let's not equate
Forgiveness is a power, not given to all
But that doesn't mean we can't stand tall.
