Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't mistake the silences

There's so much I haven't said

It's not that quiet in my head

But I can't even tell you that

[Verse 2]

Whatever doesn't kill me

It doesn't make me stronger

But I'm not gonna give up yet

And if these walls should weaken

I'm still strong enough to know

I'm gonna build them up again

[Verse 3]

There's one more thing left to try (And it just might work)

It scares me that you know why (And I don't know what's worse)

Despite my only true desire

I just can't keep an open mind

[Verse 4]

Whatever doesn't kill me

It doesn't make me stronger

But I'm not gonna give up yet

And if these walls should weaken

I'm still strong enough to know

I'm gonna build them up again (Now that I am strong enough to know)

I'm gonna build them up again (Now that I am strong enough to know)

I'm gonna build them up again (Strong enough to know)

[Verse 5]

There were walls and promises

And they've all broken down to bits

And it's exactly times like this

I found the words I should have said

[Verse 6]

Whatever doesn't kill me

It doesn't make me stronger

But I'm not gonna give up yet

And if these walls should weaken

I'm still strong enough to know

I'm gonna build them up again
