I let you through my guard to finally breathe
To finally breathe
I was beaten, lost and broken
Straying further from the person I am
For the longest time I burned from both ends
Storm inside my chest I can't put to rest
So tear me apart and spill my guts
All these years but it still fucking cuts
But I know it's too late and I can't heal enough
I'm done with your blame, I'm peeling it off
(I'm peeling it off)
I let you through my guard to finally breathe
Through my fractured skin, through my fractured skin
To help me shed light to what's underneath
And build me up again, become myself again
I may not be whole but I'm being myself
There lies a heart shaped mass inside this hollow shell
Restore the fragments of my halo and let me free
Mould me back to be the person I was meant to be
Only you can see the glare beneath the fractured surface
The lines on my withered skin, they had a purpose
None of them inflicted on my own
By the side of me I've never shown
By the side of me I've never shown
Is this the life that I've been dealt?
I'm nothing but a shadow of myself
I've said I'm okay, I've said I'm fine
I've lied through my teeth a thousand fucking times
There are no words for me to say
Is this the price I'm forced to pay?
There's nothing left for me to hide
With all these fractures a part of me has died
I let you through my guard to finally breathe
Through my fractured skin, through my fractured skin
To help me shed light to what's underneath
And build me up again, become myself again
I let you through my guard to finally breathe
Through my fractured skin, through my fractured skin
To help me shed light to what's underneath
And build me up again, become myself again
Myself again
