Conor McAuley - Step 5 (Acceptance) Lyrics

Taken away just as fast as it came
I know it'll hurt at the start
It hurts a little bit longer
And you'll cry a lot harder when you realize
That this is the way you'll remember their name
Crashed against the wave
The pain lets you know you're alive
I didn't think much about it then
But now I realize
Don't take my word when I say that I'll get by
Because in my head I'm always asking why
It's going to take time
My heart will survive
But why is it taking so long to reach Step 5
I thought that the music would help me
I was told I should maybe see somebody
A specialist to make sense of this hard time
Wish I would have known from the start
Now I need to find a way to fix a broken heart
Don't take my word when I say that I'll get by
Because in my head I'm always asking why
It's going to take time
My heart will survive
But why is it taking so long to reach Step 5
Step 1 was done but it took a while
Step 2 was cruel with bruises and a broken smile
Step 3 had me tempted to reconcile
By step 4 I was certain that I couldn't take more
One step to go and I won't have to worry anymore
Don't take my word when I say that I'll get by
Because in my head I'm always asking why
It's going to take time
My heart will survive
But why is it taking so long to reach Step 5
