It's taking over you and you can't do nothing about it,
It's taking all of you and you are just too weak to fight it,
You don't know what to do it's burning deeply & you're just crying,
So you do what you do best and you just sit there in your silence.

The pain is killing you,
this hurting is brand new.
You've had enough of this,
your freedom you have missed.
You stand and make some noise,
you've finally found your voice.

You say
I know who i am now you can't hurt me anymore.
Im taking my life back i won't be held down on the floor.
And now i won't burn easily so just stop trying.
I will stand up for my life, i won't be a victim of your silence.

&quot;Even though you&#039;d hurt my feelings, I&#039;d still forgive you. Even if you don&#039;t love me, I&#039;d still reach my hand to you. Even if you&#039;re gone, I&#039;d still wait for you. Even if you break my heart, I&#039;d still say, I love you.&quot;
