Lyric

There were people I loved in the days gone by

Every flame was real, never was a lie

Through every "Goodbye" and every "Hello"

I felt the excitement that helped me to grow

The nights I spent crying, drenched in my fears

I still can remember the sting of those tears

But now I look back with a tenderness deep

At the secrets and sorrows I used to keep

Even when broken, even when bruised

My heart was a vessel that couldn't be used?

No, it's the proof of the life I have led

A testament written in the tears that I shed

Though I am wounded, though I might break

I’ll conquer the shadows for my own sake

Even the suffering that makes me want to run

Can be overcome before the day is done

Because I am stronger... now than I’ve ever been

The thread that was tied led me straight to you

A bond built on faith, so honest and true

But this cruel fate that’s been handed to me

Is a truth that I never had wanted to see

The hollow of night, the dark of the room

Is a lingering shadow, a veil of gloom

But somewhere a light is starting to spark

A flickering candle in the middle of dark

The dawn of tomorrow will find its own way

To shine on the person I’m becoming today

I’ve survived my "Yesterday," I’ve paid the price

I won't let the darkness claim me twice

Though I am wounded, though I might break

I’ll conquer the shadows for my own sake

Even the suffering that makes me want to run

Can be overcome before the day is done

I know I can make it... starting from now

Flickering light

Testament of pain

I am still here
