letra de eight - sleeping at last

Loading...

i remember the minute
it was like a switch was flipped
i was just a kid who grew up strong enough
to pick this armor up
and suddenly it fit

god, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago
i was little, i was weak, perfectly naive
and i grew up too quick

now you won’t see all that i have to lose
and all i’ve lost in the fight to protect it
i won’t let you in, i swore never again
i can’t afford, no, i refuse to be rejected

i want to break these bones ’til they’re better
i want to break them right and feel alive
you were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
my healing needed more than time

when i see fragile things, helpless things, broken things
i see the familiar
i was little, i was weak, i was perfect too
now i’m a broken mirror

but i can’t let you see all that i have to lose
all i’ve lost in the fight to protect it
i can’t let you in, i swore never again
i can’t afford to let myself be blindsided

i’m standing guard, i’m falling apart
and all i want is to trust you
show me how to lay my sword down
for long enough to let you through

here i am, pry me open
what do you want to know?
i’m just a kid who grew up scared enough
to hold the door shut
and bury my innocence
but here’s a map, here’s a shovel
here’s my achilles’ heel

i’m all in, palms out, i’m at your mercy now and i’m ready to begin
i am strong, i am strong, i am strong enough to let you in

i’ll shake the ground with all my might
i will pull my whole heart up to the surface
for the innocent, for the vulnerable
i’ll show up on the front lines with a purpose
and i’ll give all i have, i’ll give my blood, i’ll give my sweat
an ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
i’m shattered porcelain, glued back together again
invincible like i’ve never been
