Well it's funny how from the aches and pains Is where most of myself I've gained But back then I never thought I'd feel complete Without somebodies arms wrapped around me Because every rose will have its thorns And from which great triumph, trials are born And when you reach mountain tops there will be valleys still in store I was expecting love out of hateful people I saw security from those most insecure I thought I'd find my joy from the brokenhearted Then I realized my heart was broken even more Well I was lonely so I turned to affirmation Because everyone believed me but myself And I finally recognize that there's nothing that I lack And I will not let these setbacks set me back
