lyrics

Verse 1:
Please don't leave me alone with my thoughts
I'm unsure of where they'll take me
I try so hard to be strong
But it's getting to me now

Pre-Chorus:
And if I'm honest, I'm scare to death
And filled with loneliness
And if I'm honest, it's a test
With every breath

CHORUS:
Anything worth having, is worth fighting for
But I'm only human and that means I'm flawed
I don't expect the world to be easy or kind
But if I can control anything, I thought that it would be my mind
There's a darkness that hovers behind my back
And it waits, ready to attack

Verse 2:
Some days I feel like a tiny leaf
Being blown about in the wind
Pushed and pulled and powerless
To the chaos that surrounds

Pre-Chorus
CHORUS

Bridge:
I hate myself for being fragile
I'm angry at myself for feeling down
I can't admit when I'm losing grip
Wasn't I stronger than this?
I'm stronger than this

CHORUS
