lyrics

Seven years flew by, wipe your tears of shame
pardoned me they said I'm hopeless, but I wont let that bring me down
Who's to say we're hiding, who's to know your free
backed away from the darkness and you wont let that bring you down

Held on to pieces that made you feel,
a bit more alive now you're writing your own, story to keep all the spite away, might just go home and write my own

Waited long by the shore, caught a breeze of silence
short of breath I was, but I wont let that bring her down
Found a way to hold thoughts without the pain that bleeds
rest assure the ends near, but she wont let that bring him down

Held on to pieces that made you feel,
a bit more alive now you're writing your own, story to keep all the spite away, might just go home and write my own

Held on to pieces that made you feel,
a bit more alive now you're writing your own, story to keep all the spite away, might just go home and write my own
