Self On My Own

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were bright, we were brave Built a world out of grace Felt so safe in your hands Till the cracks in the frame I kept trying to stay Kept my tears in a cage But the door swung wide And I had to choose me [Pre-Chorus] I was breaking in two Trying to save what I knew Then I caught my breath And I heard myself say [Chorus] I can hold my own I can hold my own Even now, even here I won’t disappear I can hold my own I can hold my own I can bloom in the dark With my own two hands [Verse 2] I remember the ash On the floor of the past All the promises bent Under weight they could not last And I wanted to run Back to who we had been But the mirror stayed still And it showed me again [Pre-Chorus] I was breaking in two Trying to save what I knew Then I caught my breath And I heard myself say [Chorus] I can hold my own I can hold my own Even now, even here I won’t disappear I can hold my own I can hold my own I can bloom in the dark With my own two hands [Bridge] Let the night take its name Let the hurt leave a stain I’ve been hurt, I’ve been bent Still I’m here all the same No more waiting for proof No more asking to stay If the world turns cold I’ll be warm anyway [Chorus] I can hold my own I can hold my own Even now, even here I won’t disappear I can hold my own I can hold my own I can bloom in the dark With my own two hands
