So Many Years

I thought I was alone
The only one
To feel this way about myself
There's more than the pain
Stuck there on the shelf
My self worth together with some rain

So many years figuring out
Who am I in this world, am I enough?
There's a riot inside my mind
A force that wants to fight over my life

It comes with no warning
Just breaches the silence
Strong as iron, a plague
Though no one wants it
It's always around us
Playing games in our heads

So many years figuring out
Who am I in this world, am I enough?
There's a riot inside my mind
A force that wants to fight over my life
And this one tries to bring me down
But I won't let it in
So keep on coming
I will stand in your way every time

Now I know a scream isn't louder than a cry for help
We're not alone, there's no shame
There's nothing to hide away
So when you hold me now and when you hear me out
I know we're all the same
We all feel lost sometimes

So many years figuring out
Who am I in this world, am I enough?
There's a riot inside my mind
A force that wants to fight over my life
If this one tries to hold me down
I won't let it win - No
So keep on coming
I will stand in your way every time

(Every time, I will stand, I will stand in your way)
