Here I am again
This cycle will not end
Wounded on the floor
And I don't think I can mend
I say "I can do anything"
Cause it's Christ who strengthens me
But I can't see
I'm just a human
I feel the same
I don't know how to show
And my heart is what's to blame
We're all humans
Who don't know what to do
When the stranger in the mirror looks
A lot like me and you
This chrysalis
Like a misfortune's kiss
or a wedding date I missed
how did it come to this?
I'm no stranger to pain
'cause growing brings a strain
And I find myself here again
looking towards the end
I'm through with these lies
As if everything were fine
if it isn't right
then it's not right
I'm freezing inside
In the desolation of my pride
Something simply isn't right
There's nowhere left to hide
Same old story
I try to wear a crown
But it doesn't fit my head too well
and it ends up slipping down
But then you pick me up
And on your shoulders I can sit
see the crown is much too big for me
you're the one it fits
This chrysalis
Like a misfortune's kiss
or a wedding date I missed
how did it come to this?
I'm no stranger to pain
'cause growing brings a strain
And I find myself here again
looking towards the end
I tried too hard again
distanced from my friends
just able to hear you say
that you love me anyway
