I only knew I would be the strongest version
Of what I was first given
The strongest dose of the love I was given
Sometimes I had to trample with tears in my eyes
Over the things I knew I couldn’t help
Until I was strong enough to carry them with me instead

A route with pain, a route with joy
There should be no delusion of that magnitude
You should know the truth
I am not locked in my bones
I have been changed forever
And it makes the love your given change too
