My Own Way Through

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You drew a line across the floor Said I was finished, nothing more I took the key you threw away And learned to turn the lock my way [Pre-Chorus] I kept the dents, I kept the scars They taught my hands to hold their ground [Chorus] I won't bend beneath your weight I won't wait outside your gate Every wall you built around me Made a road I choose to take [Verse 2] Your old coat hangs behind the door The sleeves still smell like engine oil I packed my name in a paper bag And left before the kettle boiled [Pre-Chorus] I kept the dents, I kept the scars They taught my hands to hold their ground [Chorus] I won't bend beneath your weight I won't wait outside your gate Every wall you built around me Made a road I choose to take [Bridge] Let the old foundations shake Let the locked rooms split apart I can carry what I couldn't I can start with what I am [Breakdown] No more asking No more waiting [Final Chorus] I won't bend beneath your weight I won't wait outside your gate Every wall you built around me Made a road I choose to take I won't bend, I won't turn back I have found my own way through [Outro] My own way through
