Lyrics:
Saw her just the other night in her favorite shirt
She said that she missed but and I said the same to her
To tell the truth I was lying, didn’t feel a thing
I’m on the other side of hurting, it’ll never be the same

Well I’m too far gone for way too long
Wish I could still say it’s a possibility
I’m on the other side of healing
Too far gone to make believe

There’s so much in this world that’s just too tough to be discerned
But it’s clear that the system’s broke, the wolves they have returned
What they’re calling normal’s pathologically absurd
On the other side of saving, too far gone to make it work

There was a time that I believed in authority
But the myths they sold me don’t align with truth and history
You can call me crazy but you can’t lie to me
On the other side of knowing you can’t unsee what you have seen

Well I’m too far gone for way too long
Wish I couldn’t still say it’s a possibility
I’m on the other side of knowing, too far gone to make believe

Freedom don’t come easy, it’s a choice I make each day
Mostly it’s an inside job, for me the only way
I know I could blot out the sun, yea I could find a way
But I lived that dead life long enough to know that it don’t pay

I’m grateful for family, grateful for my friends
I’m grateful for the darkest roads I thought would never end
Cuz the led me to a higher love and taught me to let go
So I’m grateful I was too far gone to make it home alone

Now when the devil tries to buy me out I know it ain’t for me
I’m on the other side of hurting, too far gone to make believe
