verse 1:
These times seem tough
(Tougher then I've ever dealt with before, so tough that I can't bear it any more)
I think I've had enough
(I am about to give it all up, once and for all, I am fed up)
Given the roughest route
(I find it hard enough just to stand, I feel like I'm sinking in quick sand)
I'm kind of stressing out
(Pulling out the hair from my head, it's the stuff like this that I've learned to dread)

bridge:
I know it's a trial that I'm going through
It's a way that'll make me more like You
I can't see the outcome at this time
And I'm trying to keep myself from crying

chorus:
Why did it happen to me?
Oh, why did it have to be?
I know it's Your plan
I know it's Your will
But it's hard for me to see
I'm blind

verse 2:
My life is getting hard
(Harder than the road left behind, or than the nightmares dreamt in my mind)
Patience is pushed quite far
(Pushing me where I don't want to go, farther and farther, losing control)
And I'm about to burst
(Pressure is building inside my soul, I am about to let it all go)
'Cause it's never been worse
(I thought I had problems before, now it seems I have even more)
