Final Straw - Live

As I raise my head to broadcast my objection

As your latest triumph draws the final straw

Who died and lifted you up to perfection?

And what silenced me is written into law

I can't believe where circumstance has thrown me

And I turn my head away

If I look I'm not sure that I could face you

Not again

Not today

Not today

If hatred makes a play on me tomorrow

And forgiveness takes a back seat to revenge

There's a hurt down deep that has not been corrected

There's a voice in me that says you will not win

And if I ignore the voice inside

Raise a half glass to my home

But it's there that I am most afraid

And forgetting doesn't hold

Doesn't hold

Now I don't believe and I never did

That two wrongs make a right

If the world were filled with the likes of you

Then I'm putting up a fight

Putting up a fight

Putting up a fight

Make it right

Make it right

Now love cannot be called into question

Forgiveness is the only hope I hold

And love, love will be my strongest weapon

I do believe that I am not alone

For this fear will not destroy me

And the tears that have been shed

It's knowing now where I am weakest

And the voice in my head

In my head

Then I raise my voice up higher

And I look you in the eye

And I offer love with one condition

With conviction, tell me why

Tell me why

Tell me why

Look me in the eye

Tell me why
