Forget the Varnish

i've always heard people say "everything happens for a reason"
and at first, i always believed them
but then came that day
when something happened i couldn't explain

it hit me suddenly, i wasn't even seeking
then a star shoots arcoss the sky and suddenly life has reason
but i didn't find it where i thought; everywhere i searched
i didn't think i'd ever gain, this much on earth

but now time has passed, and i've started to lose faith
how could i trust when every promise you decided to break
it slips out of my hands, glass shatters on the ground
and reason turned everything upside down

now i have scars of where the glass sliced my hand
and though i try to forget, i know i never can
becasue when things get broken they're so hard to fix
and the good things in life are hard not to miss

so now i wonder, was it all true
has that little saying has paid it's due?
through the unexplainable i find reason in it all
lessons learnt about how not to fall

these scars are worth the life i have recieved
now i know what true living really means
it's not giving in, it's giving all out
love, hope, and faith are what life's all about
