And the condition that my heart was in
But I would never surrender, no, no
I gotta be stronger, there's nothing time can't heal
Girl, I know you're scarred
All I ask is a chance to come in and do my part
It's nothing but fear and you've been holding on since
Too under pressure and I see us sinking in
