lyrics

As another door slams shut
I walk away
I’m just this proud boy
Struggling to be humble
and all this while I’m asking myself
Am I the one to blame
For all my misfortunes
Am I?

For years on end,
fighting uphill battles
Again and again
I need no reminder,
for this broken heart,
rattling in my chest
Hunting for breath,
fighting to stand,
my strength wearing away
For years on end
Fighting uphill battles
Again and again

I’m worn out by these battles
My bones are brittle
Where can I find my rest
And while I try to hide
I come to the conclusion
this raging war won’t let me last

Face the music
that desolate tune
My heart in a vault
wasting away
Scared to open up for it could be scarred again
Was I meant to be alone?

For years on end,
Fighting uphill battles,
Again and again
I need no reminder,
for this broken heart,
rattling in my chest
Hunting for breath,
fighting to stand,
my strength wearing away
For years on end
Fighting uphill battles
Again and again

And I try and remind myself
It ain’t this bad
I remind myself
As long as there is hope there can be a change
This hope, my final straw
I’ll never let it go,
carry it close to my heart
When everything falls apart
Storms are raging
I want to shout out loud
It is your sun that breaks through the darkness
Your mighty hand that’s over me gives me shelter
Your words that convey comfort
Your breath that gives me life
