Sarah McLachlan - Only Way Out Is Through Lyrics


I took my soul out to the trees and asked for comfort
Asked they hold me softly underneath their boughs
But the forest whispered time will only ever answer
Once you’ve learned the things you need to carry on and let it go

So, I sat there in the storm of my confusion
Tried to will away the pain I felt inside
But the walls I built to hold the flood were crumbling
And my world was coming down

Only way out of this is through
There’s no going back, no going ’round it
We try to run and hide, that’s what we do

Oh, but the pain will keep on coming ’til we face it, ’til we feel it
Give into it, forgive me, forgive you
So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding
Forgotten what it’s like to be in love

So, I walk on with this rage and with this hunger
With this insatiable desire to take you down
But it’s leading me into my darkest corners
Where there’s no peace to be found

Only way out of this is through
There’s no going back, no going ’round it
We try to run and hide, it’s what we do

Oh, the pain will keep on coming ’til you face it, ’til we feel it
Give into it, forgive me, forgive you
So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding
We’ve forgotten what it’s like to be in love

Oh, I wanna live without this rage
I wanna tear apart everything I ever knew and start again
Wash my soul clean to find the one I used to know

So, I took my soul out to the trees and asked for comfort
Ask they hold me softly underneath their boughs
But the forest whispered time will only ever answer
Once you’ve learned the thing you need

That the pain will keep on coming ’til we face it, ’til we feel it
It doesn’t mean I’m gonna forgive you
So many walls between us, so much bending and conceding
Forgotten what it’s like to be in love

To be in love
To be in love
To be in love
To be in love
To be in love

I’m not in love
I’m not in love
