Only Way Out Is Through

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I took my soul out to the trees and asked for comfort Asked they hold me softly underneath their boughs But the forest whispered, "Time will only ever answer Once you've learned the things you need to carry on and let it go" [Verse 2] So I sat there in the storm of my confusion Tried to will away the pain I felt inside But the walls I built to hold the flood were crumbling And my world was coming down [Pre-Chorus] Only way out of this is through There's no going back, no going 'round it We try to run and hide, that's what we do [Chorus] Oh, the pain will keep on coming till we face it, till we feel it Give into it, forgive me, forgive you So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding Forgotten what it's like to be in love [Verse 3] So I walk on with this rage, with this hunger With this insatiable desire to take you down But it's leading me into my darkest corners Where there's no peace to be found [Pre-Chorus] Only way out of this is through There's no going back, no going 'round it We try to run and hide, it's what we do [Chorus] Oh, the pain will keep on coming till you face it, till we feel it Give into it, forgive me, forgive you So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding We've forgotten what it's like to be in love [Bridge] Oh, I wanna live without this rage I wanna tear apart everything I ever knew and start again Wash my soul clean to find the one I used to know [Verse 4] So I took my soul out to the trees and asked for comfort Ask they hold me softly underneath their boughs But the forest whispered, "Time will only ever answer Once you've learned the thing you need" [Chorus] That the pains will keep on coming till we face it, till we feel it It doesn't mean I'm gonna forgive you So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding Forgotten what it's like to be in love [Outro] To be in love To be in love To be in love To be in love To be in love I'm not in love, I'm not in love
