Lyrics: Christine Dente. Gotta Go Through.

Why'd it have to come to this?
Why'd I have to go through this?
Wouldn't it be easier to just get up and run?

Why do I have to give so much?
Haven't I been through enough
Wouldn't it be better just to let it go?

I don't wanna go through to get through this
No, I don't want to face what it takes to break
I tried to get around but it comes back to
Gotta go through, I gotta go through

Every day we take a chance, learn a new step in the dance
Tripping together is better than falling apart
I guess I wasn't so smart, I didn't have a map of my own heart
I thought those old roads were just dead ends

Now I gotta go through to get through this
Though I don't want to face what it takes to break
I tried to get around but it comes back to
Gotta go through, I gotta go through

This unfamiliar terrain, no umbrella for the rain
And we're reaching for each other again

We gotta go through to get through this
We gotta face what it takes to break
There's no getting around 'cause it comes down to
Gotta go through, we gotta go through
We gotta go through, gotta go through
