I never wanted to feel this – I’ve been afraid for so, so long
But you drew me out with your finger tips
You came around and you held on
I never wanted to say this – loud enough for us to hear
But your voice is calling me softly
Lifting the weight of my fears
(chorus)
I’ve believed a lifelong lie
That my own arms can hold me
But I think I can finally say
I am strong enough, strong enough, strong enough
To be weak
I never wanted to leave this – this lonely island I call home
But offer safety in numbers
That I never knew from being alone
I never wanted to break this – this jaded heart made of stone
But you held me over your fire
Melting the pride from my bones
(chorus)
I’ve believed a lifelong lie
That my own arms can hold me
I think I can finally say
I am strong enough, strong enough, strong enough
To be weak
(interlude)
I’ve believed a lifelong lie
That my own arms can hold me….
I’ve believed a lifelong lie that my own arms can hold me
I think I can finally say
I am strong enough, strong enough, strong enough
Oh, I am strong enough, strong enough, strong enough
To be weak
