I put this pen to a page
Suddenly my memories start to dissipate
I begin to let go
Of what I thought I already knew
Stealing glances
Taking chances
Behind the; broken, chosen, few
I fell apart in front of you
Only to watch you build me up once again
You took this broken empty soul
I won't let them win
I took apart my mind
Now I'll piece it back together
Praising to a million people
Who've seen the weather too
I could have walked away a hero
Defending all these crimes
But instead I took these bleeding
Needing, begging and pleading
Took them like a bandit steals the end of time
I fought these thoughts, was all for naught
Could have done it all but I might just not
Before I run away
I need to release the day
And remember what it was that made me stay
I will find some peace tonight
This isn't where I'll die
I've got my soul, it's clutched in tight
I'll wear it on my sleeve, I'll try
To take this beating heart, I'll fight
To stand upon my own
I'll break it down again, alright;
And keep you safe at home
I fell apart in front of you
Only to watch you build me up once again
I took this broken empty soul
I won't let them win
