I tell myself not to cry
But it's killin me on the inside
My heart beats,
But it's unsure.
I'm broken,
Tell me, where's the cure?
"Wipe the tears
From my eyes.
Show the world
That you're strong.
Stand up straight,
Lift your chin,
Even if things
Are crashing in,"
I say
To myself.
I say I'm clean,
My mind's serene.
This is what I wanna
Believe.
But open doors
Still shut closed.
Where are my choices?
Why haven't I chose?
"Wipe the tears
From my eyes.
Show the world
That you're strong.
Stand up straight,
Lift your chin,
Even if things
Are crashing in,"
I say
To myself.
Be like a flower
Blooming in the spring.
Time to listen
And time to win.
Win back fights
That were meant
To be mine.
Don't let no enemy
Tell you otherwise.
Show them you won't cry,
Tell them it's not killin you
On the inside.
Let your heart run,
Say you're sure,
That you're not broken
And that you've found a cure.
