歌詞

I was one of those who see the world in pictures

Pretending that nothing ever happens here

Placing a thousand filters on a heart in pieces

And a shop-window smile upon my face

(Uhm…)

Until the mirror shouted quietly at me

Saying I was no longer living inside my disguise

Collecting applause and an endless emptiness

Forgetting how it feels to find my peace

'Cause no one grows stronger without first being fragile

Life doesn’t rush—it’s learning how to walk

There are no shortcuts when it comes to healing

And coming back to me… was my only place

I no longer stitch my pain with threads of lies

Nor search in my pockets for what cannot be seen

I’m no longer afraid of melancholy

‘Cause I learned that sadness is a way to grow

Also…

I realized that peace isn’t something you can buy

It’s the warmth you feel when there’s no one around

And happiness is hugging your own shadow

Knowing that the storm makes you strong too

(Ah…)

'Cause no one grows stronger without first being fragile

Life doesn’t rush—it’s learning how to walk

There are no shortcuts when it comes to healing

And coming back to me… was my only place

It hurt, of course, giving all and ending up

With empty hands…

I searched in other eyes for the light that was missing

Here inside me, where it had always been

'CAUSE NO ONE GROWS STRONGER WITHOUT FIRST BEING FRAGILE!

LIFE DOESN’T RUSH—IT’S LEARNING HOW TO WALK!

THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS WHEN IT COMES TO HEALING

AND COMING BACK TO ME WAS MY ONLY PLACE!

Back to me…

And that’s it
