The Other Side

And we all carry a burden Like a word that hurts the most But I do my best to let it go And if you pull back on the curtain Look into my soul You'll see that all I wanted was a home Is that too much to ask? I hear you calling from the other side Begging me to get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean And if we make it to the other side Finally, then we get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean We all drink our poison Whatever form it takes We build our home in this den of snakes And if we cast off all our burden Our fears and our mistakes Oh, it wouldn't mean a think 'Cause we only learn the hard way, baby We only learn the hard way, don't we, dear? And I hear you calling from the other side Begging me to get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean And if we make it to the other side Finally, and we get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean Maybe I'm not as clever as I thought I was And I should forget the dreams I had when I was young There's just something I could never give up I'll never give, I'll never give 'Cause I hear you calling from the other side Begging me to get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean I hear you calling from the other side Begging me to get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean And if we make it to the other side Finally, and we get down in the dirt 'Cause that's the only way to come clean
