if i'm strong then i'm cold, if i crack then i'm weak, wish i could grow old without ever leavin this street, where i'm safe and protected, never rejected, held dear and respected, for being me without gettin infected, only its a lie cos i am, if i could cry then i'd understand, but i'm dead, i'm dry... tears of sand, every grain a truth that i didn't wanna hear, in my brain the proof is what burns and what sears, wounds that won't heal, for three years i can't feel, then all of a sudden i'm alive, not dead i survived, if nothing else take pride, that you gave me a second chance at a life, an i'm gonna take it, with or without you i'm gonna make it, an i will never fake it, my hearts on my sleave its their for you to break it, but if you wanna leave then please don't forsake it, take a piece to remember, like i'll remember, every tear carries love from the sender, if you've cried then i'm sorry, i'm not capable of hurtin, but i know what comes from me can seem a bit disturbin, i'm emergin, from the shadows like a virgin, re-adjustin to a world when just i was vergin, on the brink of collapse, thought i'd failed don't wanna relapse, if this is whats entailed then i'll take off the mask, bare my soul to you all and take what comes back, how many people get second chances, how many people know all the answers, if i can deal with these then you've cured my cancer, if your smilin inside then we won, whatever we do this can't be undone, i don't believe in the one, if i did then she's already gone, don't believe in love its a word not a bond, actions speak louder than any words in any song, i'll take the bullets if the front lines where i belong, i was wrong, accused you when i knew you were strong, should have known all along, but i'm weak, never think before i speak, my only peace is when i sleep... i've got a guilty concience, an i can't share that burden, whats done is done an all i can do is learn from, now i'm switched and turned on, its gonna take time but i can see an end, this dark was all mine now its starting to blend, there's colour an there's hope, can't promise not to choke, but i feel ready to walk the tightrope, if this has made any sense then i'm glad, if not then i don't feel bad, i speak through my pen and my pad, this is the truth and if you think that i'm mad you'd be right, i'm insane but now i don't have to fight, i found the light, i wanna share but only if its right, look inside and find the truth, whatever you want is whatever i'll do, that used to be weak... now thats my trust in you.
