Our Power

I know that by now I should be ahead
I wish that I'd told you how close to the edge
I was keeping my mouth up by tilting my head
Back in the water and gasping for air

So afraid I was going to drown
The voices had got too loud

Unsure if I called for help that they would come and pull me out
I'd been too afraid to shout I'd been dragged down
By my self-doubt
And then in my darkest hour my greatest power was in vulnerability
Why does it hurt the worst to let them see you bleed?

If I could swim to the shore or sink like a stone
I thought it won't matter I'd still be alone
Could have swallowed it all and kept it inside
Then let it all out one tear at a time

Could have cried a whole ocean for you
And hoped you don't drown in it too

But then if you'd called for help well I'd have come to pull you out
If you'd been too afraid to shout I'd shine a light on your self-doubt
I'd say in your darkest hour your greatest power is in vulnerability
It always hurts the worst to let them see you bleed

Why does it hurt the worst to let them see you bleed?
It always hurts the worst to let them see you bleed
