Lyrics:
Chorus
Hold tight, wrap your arms around me, feeling like a one man army, Lord I need ya, need ya, I jus’ could use a friend,
Darkness that now surrounds me, whisper the words I’m sorry, I don’t mean to hurt too,
I’ll fight till these chains are broken, hiding the pain I’m holding, Lord I’m reaching, reaching, show me your guiding hand,
Old fear leave my heart wide open, each breath full of my emotions, I don’t mean to hurt you too…
Verse
The darkest nights, the ones nobody see, no option for retreat,
I spent so long inside the chaos start to feel like peace,
I’m tired of tripping over mountains I’m supposed to climb,
And expectations that keep pulling down the more I reach,
I’m praying God to make me stronger, need something to believe in,
If I keep suffering for a purpose, show me what’s the meaning,
I talk myself in circles tryna justify my mind,
Become so numb it’s hard to tell these days if I been dreaming,
Unpacked trauma I’m tryna process, wake up in these cold sweats,
Butterfly, I know there’s beauty under my scarred flesh,
It’s breaking through, I wish they saw me for who I’m changing to,
I’m better off without distractions I was afraid to lose,
I needed faith, I got too blinded I couldn’t see my chains,
Struggled through the darkness but in hindsight I’m so glad it came,
Along this journey being empty made full of shame,
Till I barely recognize who I became…
Chorus
Hold tight, wrap your arms around me, feeling like a one man army, Lord I need ya, need ya, I jus’ could use a friend,
Darkness that now surrounds me, whisper the words I’m sorry, I don’t mean to hurt too,
I’ll fight till these chains are broken, hiding the pain I’m holding, Lord I’m reaching, reaching, show me your guiding hand,
Old fear leave my heart wide open, each breath full of my emotions, I don’t mean to hurt you too…
Verse 2
I dig my heels into the dirt, this my final stand,
I’m sorry I don’t mean to hurt you, but I know I can,
I guess I forget all the strength that my hands possessing,
At 17 I didn’t realize what this life demands,
Admittedly my biggest weakness always been ‘bout patience,
In other words, I’m fighting storms of my own creation,
Praying Lord don’t let me drown, help me walk on water,
Am I jus’ talking to myself or this conversation?
Heart too broken, now it’s collapsing, I’m feelin’ trapped in,
I built up walls while ignoring the foundation’s cracking,
Why’s it I struggle to forgive myself and show compassion,
It’s when I’m silent that I start to hear too much,
My blood flowin’, a rush, adrenaline help me coping,
There’s days I hate the world n fight controlin’ my emotion,
If this story isn’t finished, help me see the door that’s open,
And leave behind this weight I’ve been continuously
