Pure

We couldn't become pure
'til we became mature
I had scars to cure
But mine weren't like yours
I am in too deep to give up now
Promised I'd get out, but don't know how
Tried to be something I never wished for
And I'm paying the price of time and more

We are filled with pain but no one knows why
Always enough for us to get by
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying
We're trying to be pure again
Waiting on a miracle to get us back again
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying to

I need to get through this on my own

We are filled with pain but no one knows why
Always enough for us to get by
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying
We're trying to be pure again
Waiting on a miracle to get us back again
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying to

Would've showed you the way
But you couldn't see, you were hiding away

We are filled with pain but no one knows why
Always enough for us to get by
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying
We're trying to be pure again
Waiting on a miracle to get us back again
Coming to acceptance we couldn't be pure
We're trying, we're trying, we're trying to
