It was my strength that left me weak

Opened up my arms with no defense, let him in for free

Then I let him swallow me

It wasn’t love that made me blind

I saw his pain beneath the signs

So I made excuses for the bruises he planted in my mind

My heart is wrapped in scars

But I refuse to live life afraid of love

I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up

I won’t put that power in his hands

First time should’ve been the last

I feel I’m to blame for that

So I’m convinced when someone promises

Where’s the shame in that?

My heart is wrapped in scars

But I refuse to live life afraid of love

I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up

I won’t put that power in his hands

I refuse to live life afraid of love

I refuse to let my jaded heart just give up

I won’t put that power in his hands

I will pick myself up

I’ll gather all the pieces I gave up

Put ‘em back together ‘till I stand up on solid ground again

Oh till I stand up on solid ground again

Till I stand up on solid ground again
