7. Day Eighteen: Realization (4:31)
[Reason] Now you know the truth, what will you do?
[Me] I still can't believe it's true...
[Passion] You better believe it, and make them pay!
[Me] There has to be another way...
[Pride] You cannot take this lying down!
[Me] I gotta stand up, can you show me how?
[Love] You must forgive them and open your heart
[Me] It's all my fault, it tears me apart!
[Agony] It would have been better if you would have just died!
[Me] No, I've got to win this fight!
[Fear] But can you face them after all you did?
[Me] I gotta reveal the feelings I hid
[Best Friend] See him fight, he's all on his own...
[Me] I need your help, can't do it alone!
[Wife] Listen to me, can you hear me shout?
[Me] Let me out!
[Me] I still can't believe it's true...
[Passion] You better believe it, and make them pay!
[Me] There has to be another way...
[Pride] You cannot take this lying down!
[Me] I gotta stand up, can you show me how?
[Love] You must forgive them and open your heart
[Me] It's all my fault, it tears me apart!
[Agony] It would have been better if you would have just died!
[Me] No, I've got to win this fight!
[Fear] But can you face them after all you did?
[Me] I gotta reveal the feelings I hid
[Best Friend] See him fight, he's all on his own...
[Me] I need your help, can't do it alone!
[Wife] Listen to me, can you hear me shout?
[Me] Let me out!
