Tough as steel
Trying to deny what I feel
Hiding from what is real
Inside of me
Cold as ice
Shut the door, lock it tight
What lies inside
I have to recognize I can't
Fight it any longer
I feel the pain and
With each breath I take
I'm coming alive again
The hurts, the tears
Held back all this time
Suddenly finding
Their way to the surface
Finally
I can breathe finally
I can feel the weight
I've been carrying inside of me
No longer
Am I afraid
No longer
Am I ashamed
My heart's beating now
Finally living again
I feel the pain and
With each breath I take
I'm coming alive again
The hurts, the tears
Held back all this time
Suddenly finding
Their way to the surface
Life is flooding all my senses
Tearing down defenses I have made
Now I'm coming to the surface
Breaking through
Now I can finally breathe
I feel the pain and
With each breath I take
I'm coming alive again
The hurts, the tears
Held back all this time
Suddenly finding
Their way to the surface
Their way to the surface
Their way to the surface
