Scars (Stronger For Life)Corrinne MayI just want to run
Just want to hide away
Close my eyes to your gaze
Just want to leave
Don't want to hear them say
"You're no good at this"
When the world swirls with naysayers
Broken wings and torn pages
The road ahead
Drowning in my tears
Chorus:
Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life
Losing myself
Gaining it back again
Forging strength from weakness
All that I am
All that I'm meant to be
Melting in your hand
Let the world swirl with naysayers
Pickled hearts and sour faces
What is real is what I cannot see
Chorus
Cut away
All within me
That won't bear fruit
Cut away
All within me (x2)
Chorus
i'm seeking refuge...trying hard to find one. lost. i am trying to run away. i just trying to run away, throwing all responsibilities and worries and reality.
i've been reminded of my sad memories. crying alone at night, with no one to turn to. quietly. in the night. not to wake anyone. not to let anyone know that i'm crying. feeling unloved. neglect. and emptiness. alone. all alone. no one was a true friend. no one asked me out. no one would remember my presence. i am of no importance. even invisible. i float around eveyday like a nobody. when they went out, i was never being invited. i was never being the one to be asked.
forgotten.i was really grateful when people finally asked me. finally noticed me. finally realised my presence. i was really thankful. sometimes i nearly cried when i was asked. i can feel tears in my eyes.
i walked through that.
alone. i understand people can never understand me. i should learn to understand people.
i guess, i have to start the journey alone again. if i am the reason for the pain. i shall leave.
i've read somewhere that i can be independent. i shall be.
what i need now, is not sympathy, not concern. i need someone to understand me. unspoken. sit quietly beside me. lend me a shoulder when i need. give me a hug when i feel unloved. i don't want to talk. some things have to be left unspoken.
unspoken. tacit. i am still seeking. for that someone.
On My WayCorrinne MayI’m far away from what I’ve knownAnd there’s static on the radioJust a girl in a car on a lonely highwayI’ve been up and down this winding roadIt’s getting dark, the stores are closedThe map is wrinkled, my coffee’s turned to grey
But I’m on my way, I’m on my wayThere seems to be no end in sightBut I know I’ll be alright‘Cos I’m on my way, I’m on my waySweet embrace, I’m on my way
So many beat-up cars on this dirt roadI see them sputter and start to chokeHow many miles must I go till I rest in your graceI feel like giving up and letting goLet the world invade my mind, my soulWill this road make me, a sinner or a saintBut I’m on my way, I’m on my wayThere seems to be no end in sightBut I know I’ll be alright‘Cos I’m on my way, I’m on my wayDon’t give up on me, I’m on my way
I can picture your smiling faceYour arms stretched to hold meWaiting there by the gateIf I ever get lostI know that you’ll find meThere’s a cross on a hill saying“Do not be afraid.”I’m on my wayIf I keep you in my sightI know I’ll be alright i'm on my way.
