One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
|
No one has the power to hurt you like your kin
|
Kept it inside, didn't tell no one else
|
Didn't even wanna admit it to yourself
|
And now your chest burns and your back aches
|
From 15 years of holding the pain
|
And now you only have yourself to blame
|
If you continue to live this way
|
|
Chorus:
|
Get it together
|
You wanna heal your body
|
You have to heal your heart
|
Whatsoever you sow you will reap
|
Get it together
|
|
You can fly fly
|
|
Dark future ahead of me
|
That's what they said
|
I'd be starving if I ate all the lies they fed
|
Cause I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain
|
A miracle child I'm floating on a cloud
|
Cause the words that come from your mouth
|
You're the first to hear
|
Speak words of beauty and you will be there
|
No matter what anybody says
|
What matters most is what you think of yourself
|
|
Chorus
|
|
The choice is yours
|
No matter what it is
|
To choose life is to choose to forgive
|
You don't have to try
|
To hurt him and break his pride
|
just shake that weight off
|
And you will be ready to fly
|
|
One shot to your heart without breaking your skin
|
No one has the power to hurt you like your friends
|
Thought it would never change but as time moved on
|
that ugly duckling grew up to be a swan
|
And now your chest burns and your back aches
|
Because now the years are showing up on your face
|
But you'll never be happy
|
And you'll never be whole
|
Until you see the beauty in growing old
|
|
|
