The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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!!
