The heart behind the armor

Verse 1

No one sees the battles I fight alone,

The silent tears I wipe, unseen, unknown

Knees trembling, heart feeling the weight,

Life is short, but the pain can’t wait

I’ve broken hearts, mine shattered too,

Bridges burned, but the fire grew

They see the strength, the steel in my eyes,

But only a few know what hides inside

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I wear my armor, I play my part,

Tough and mean, to guard my heart

People think it comes easily,

But only I know the cost of me

⸻

Chorus

I’m strong, I’m soft, I’m brave, I’m scared,

A heart that’s been broken, yet still prepared

Life knocked me down, tried to make me fall,

But I rise, I fight, I survive it all

I show the world I can’t be tamed,

But inside, love burns just the same

Silent battles, hidden tears,

I’ve learned to turn my fears into gears

⸻

Verse 2

I once gave too much, too easily,

People pleaser, losing pieces of me

Now I set the lines, I hold the key,

To protect my soul, to let it breathe

Every scar, every lesson learned,

Every bridge I’ve burned, every heart I’ve yearned

I may look unbreakable, a fortress tall,

But my kindness is my greatest wall

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I wear my armor, I play my part,

Tough and mean, to guard my heart

People think it comes easily,

But only I know the cost of me

⸻

Chorus

I’m strong, I’m soft, I’m brave, I’m scared,

A heart that’s been broken, yet still prepared

Life knocked me down, tried to make me fall,

But I rise, I fight, I survive it all

I show the world I can’t be tamed,

But inside, love burns just the same

Silent battles, hidden tears,

I’ve learned to turn my fears into gears

⸻

Bridge

I may stumble, I may bend,

But my heart will always mend

No one owns my love, no one owns my pain,

I’ve learned to dance in the pouring rain

Strong enough to face the night,

Soft enough to hold the light

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m strong, I’m soft, I’m brave, I’m scared,

A heart that’s been broken, yet still prepared

Life knocked me down, tried to make me fall,

But I rise, I fight, I survive it all

I show the world I can’t be tamed,

But inside, love burns just the same

Silent battles, hidden tears,

I’ve learned to turn my fears into gears

⸻

Outro

I am strength wrapped in kindness,

I am fire wrapped in grace

I’ve fought, I’ve survived, I’ve endured,

And I’ll keep running my race
