Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am not the person who is singin'
I am the silent one inside
I am not the one who laughs at people's jokes
I just pacify their egos
I am not my house, my car, or my songs
They are only stops along my way
I am like the winter, I'm a dark, cold female
With a golden ring of wisdom in my cave
[Verse 2]
And it's me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence
[Verse 3]
I am carrying my voice
I am carrying my heart
I am carrying my rhythm
I am carrying my prayers
But you can't kill my spirit, it's old and it is strong
Like a mountain, I'll go on and on
But when my wings are folded
The brightly colored moth
Blends into the dirt, into the ground
[Verse 4]
And it's me who is my enemy
Me who beats me up
Me who makes the monsters
Me who strips my confidence
And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love
And it's me who's too weak
And it's me who's too shy
To ask for the thing I love
[Verse 5]
But I love
But I love
But I love
But I love
But I love
[Verse 6]
I am walking on the bridge
I am over the water
And I'm scared as hell
But I know there's something better
Yes, I know there's something better
Yes, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know
[Verse 7]
But I love
(And it's me who is my enemy)
But I love
(Me who beats me up)
But I love
(Me who makes the monsters)
But I love
(Me who strips my confidence)
But I love
(And it's me who is my enemy)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Me who beats me up)
Oh-oh, oh, oh
(Me who makes the monsters)
(Me who strips my confidence)
[Verse 8]
But it's me, and it's me
But it's me
But it's me
But it's me
But it's me
