PRIVATE HELL

Can't seem to be able to get to sleep tonight
I've got a lot of thoughts running through my mind tonight
Thinkin' 'bout way back when
And I'm not gonna pretend
That it doesn't hurt.

Well, you can't live your life in the past, I know that
But still the pain remains and from it's grip I can't escape
Holding me way back when
And I'm not gonna pretend

CHORUS
That I can forgive and forget and let it all go
And never hate again
I can't forgive and forget and let it all go
God I wish I could
If I could I would
Life would seem so easy
But it's not easy at all
When you're livin' in a private hell

Four years and nine months of my life you took away
Even in Iran it was only one year ninety days
The hell that they went through
The hell that I went through
(Don't you see) I can't forgive and forget and let it all go -
God I wish I could
If I could I would
Life would seem so easy
But it's not easy at all
When you're livin' in a private hell

Well now it's two-thirty in the morning and I'm tossing and I'm turning
A thousand painful pictures flash right before me
I try to look away
But the Goddamned images stay

CHORUS
