Sometimes you need to get hurt
Not just to
Remember what pain is
But to get your life back on track
Back on track
And do the things youâve dreamed of
Iâm getting back
Iâm getting back on track
I know you took the burden off me
And believe me itâs what i wanted
But the more i tried
The more your patience died
So hard i tried
But you let it die
(chorus)
These stitches are out
And you can see the scars - but they will fade fast
And just as fast i will find my feet
You will not see me take a second look
Never looking back
This is progress
Iâm burning down this house
Iâm burning it down
Youâll have to excuse
The look in my eyes
That Iâve been trying to hide
Donât change your opinion of me
I havenât changed who i am
I havenât changed who i am
Iâve been trying to hide
Iâm getting back to basics
Where everything seems simple
Rest assured i will never
Turn my back
(chorus)
Iâm a day older
Iâm a day stronger
And when i look into my reflection
Thereâs a new direction
Iâm a day older
Iâm a day stronger
I donât need guidance home (but i need a helping hand)
This wall has been missing bricks too long (someone show me the path)
That leads to happiness (and iâll forever be in your debt)
I promise you
I will be back
But before i go
I need to know
Will you wait for me
