Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Each time they take a photograph, I lose a part I can't get back
I wanna hide, this is the part where I detach
Each time they write a hateful word, draggin' my soul into the dirt
I wanna die, I never admit it, but it hurts
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, but I'm in the dark, yeah
I can't be a superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, I'm only human
[Verse 3]
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be a war, but I'm not goin' down
[Verse 4]
One little lie can ruin my day
Words are like weapons, they betray
When I am afraid, one word of kindness, it can save me
[Verse 5]
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, but I'm in the dark, yeah
I can't be a superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, I'm only human
[Verse 6]
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be a war, but I'm not goin' down
[Verse 7]
Being destructive isn't brave, they couldn't say it to my face
One day, I won't care, but for the moment, I'm not there
I'll just close my eyes and let you catch me now
[Verse 8]
I don't wanna talk about it right now
Just hold me while I cry my eyes out
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, but I'm in the dark, yeah
I can't be a superhero right now
Even hearts made out of steel can break down
I'm not Joan of Arc, not yet, I'm only human
[Verse 9]
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be a war, but I'm not goin' down
[Verse 10]
Anything they did to me, said to me
Doesn't mean a thing, 'cause you're here with me now
Even when the world turns its back on me
There could be a war, but I'm not Joan of Arc
