These eggshells are killing my feet.

I fall down, my knees bleed.

I crawl through your anger, your ego I tiptoe through

Mood after mood.

So tired of being afraid

Of the next moment you lose control

I hear the bomb tick, but the timer's corroded

And I never know when you'll blow

And I'm trying to keep my head down

Cover my vulnerable heart.

Trying to cry for help… Why do I put myself second?

You were the first one to say I love you, I need you.

Adoring that side of you

I looked away when you waived a red flag

Round and around again, over and over

I fear you

But I love you.

A mouse on a wheel

Caught in a circle, I don't know which way to run

Cause you have two faces I see

The one I love captivates me

The other one scares me and literally tears me apart

I leave here today

Cause this is not love

And I will not stay

I sweep the eggshells away

I’m back on my feet

And my life is starting today.

No more half empty glasses, that fill one drop at a time.

My thirsty soul quenches as the knots in my stomach untie.

And my heart that was broken in two

Is now stronger than I ever knew

My spirit is back and it's no longer black and blue.

I leave here today

Cause this is not love

And I will not stay

I sweep the eggshells away

I’m back on my feet

And my life is starting today.

All I'm saying is give peace a chance.
