**[Verse]** For years I thought the battle Was with something deep within A restless voice that followed me No matter where I'd been I called it fear I called it weakness I called it everything but mine So I spent my life outrunning A shadow I could never leave behind **[Build]** And one night when I was tired Too tired to run away I turned around to face it And it didn't come to break me It came to say... **[Chorus]** "I was the part of you That carried all the pain The one who learned to hide it When nobody could stay I never was your enemy I only wore that face Because you wouldn't listen To the hurt you couldn't name" **[Instrumental Break]** (No vocals) **[Final Chorus]** And I cried for all the years Spent fighting with myself Building walls around a wound That only needed help Now the silence feels different Now the weight begins to move Cause the peace I've searched for everywhere Was hidden in the truth That the darkest room inside me Wasn't darkness after all It was a lonely part of me Waiting for my call **[Outro]** And for the first time... I came home.
