dark days of sorrow (rewrite 1)

I'm okay with waiting

if that's what it takes

to overlook the failures

and all the mistakes

it took to get here

where I can be on my own

to look inside my heart

and consider it home

at last

the dark days of sorrow

have passed

I'm okay with hoping

I've done it all my life

still not expecting

anything to go right

I try my best

at least that's what I claim

but I'm always first

when someone's to blame

so I'll move on 

the dark days of sorrow

are gone

I'm okay with leaving

I've done it before

and if I need to

I can do it some more

I know I am strong now

I know where I stand

all that I need

is wherever I am

I know what to do

the dark days of sorrow

are through
