Stand For Myself
I understand why you close your eyes
Why you deaf your ears, oh I realise now
You wanna feel nothing, just like I was
A coward in the shadows, no view from above
Now I'm alive, it's hard to explain
It took this much time, it took this much pain
You can get here if you're willing
Let go of yourself for a new beginning
It was easier to sit than stand for myself
It was easier to give in than stand for myself
I know why you hide away
Why you keep so quiet
Mind what you say now
You think you're too much
Too hot to handle
You're stronger than anyone
But still so fragile
It was easier to sing than stand for myself
It was easier to give in than stand for myself
It was hard enough to go and live on
I was so tired trying to belong
I was lost in the city, you could see it in my eyes
But I was still a dreamer in the middle of the night
I'm alive, alive, I'm alive
I used to be nothing like you
I used to feel nothing like you
Now I'm alive, alive, I'm alive
I used to be nothing like you
I used to feel nothing like you
Now I'm alive, alive, I'm alive
I used to be nothing like you
I used to feel nothing like you
Now I'm alive, alive, I'm alive
Ooh yeah
