Lyrics

Every night I fall away
I don’t know why I should stay

There’s nothing for me here anyway
Last night I fell away

But you’re not the one who holds me back
And you’re not the one I’m angry at

It’s up to me to fill the cracks
Pick up the pieces and put them back
Excommunicate my sins
And make a little room for becoming who I am

I walk here all alone
I’m still looking for my home

I never felt like I belonged
Drawing my blood from your stone

But you’re not the one who holds me back
And you’re not the one I’m angry at

It’s up to me to fill the cracks
Pick up the pieces and put them back

Communicate my suffering
And make a little room for becoming who I am

I’m not giving up the battles that I’ve won
Or taking off my guard for you to put me down
I’m not forgetting the lessons that I’ve learned
I know that happiness is earned

But you’re not the one who holds me back
And you’re not the one I’m angry at

It’s up to me to fill the cracks
Pick up the pieces and put them back
Maybe shed a little skin
And make a little room for becoming who I am
