Obstacles Ahead

Bruises swell and change colour But they hurt all just the same Chances bud like blooming flowers But they're not your type of game Daily doses of reality Spell nothing more than tragedy Just close your eyes and try to sleep But you can't help but weep, but weep How can you hold on? When the pain's too much and you're losing touch? How can you still want me? When you're scared and it can't be bared? Cuts scab and skin takes over But that spot won't be the same Opportunity beckons like temptation, like temptation But you abstain quietly Breaking down oh so slowly Is ever quickly becoming the norm Hold on to me Hold on, hold on to me How can you hold on? When the pain's too much and you're losing touch? How can you still want me? When you're scared and it can't be bared? Cuts scab and skin takes over But that spot won't be the same Opportunity beckons like temptation, like temptation But you abstain quietly, quietly How can you hold on? When the pain's too much and you're losing touch? How can you still want me? When you're scared and it can't be bared?
