I threw a thousand awkward smiles towards eyes
That sente shivers down my spine
That made my heart grow cold and blind
Left me alone and bleeding
Swallowed all the poisoned apples I was fed
But now I spit it all at your feet
It won't hurt me anymore

I felt it all come down on me
Saw the pressure forcing me onto my knees
All the loneliness tearing me apart
And your spears of ice piercing my heart

I saw my love fading behind a veil of lies
Felt my faith disappearing like a swarm of flies
But now I gained it all back, it's inside of me
A heart armed with love and compassion
I learned that dreams don't aways come true
Took that lesson the hard way but now I'm through
But I still believe in what I can feel and do
Still believe in my potencial

To find ourselves we've got to go a lonely road
And fate often leads us where we don't want to go
But the way to ourselves is traced out in our hearts
Just take the first step and make a start

I felt it all come down on me
Saw the pressure forcing me onto my knees
But I forged my way back to the light
And you can do too, if you'd only try
