Lyrics:
(Intro)
[Guitar feedback. Heavy drum beat kicks in immediately.]
(Spoken, sharp)
How many times?
I said... how many times?
(Verse 1)
How many times do I have to turn away?
Must I hurt you with the words I say?
You're moving too fast.
And I'm walking.
(Yeah, I'm walking!)
Must I feel shame for not wanting you?
Must I wake up to an empty bed, feeling blue?
No. I'm telling you no.
(Pre-Chorus)
Because inside I have wept.
But appearance... yeah, I kept it.
Each day I fight!
Each day I survive!
Hope for the past to stay in the past!
(Leave it back there!)
(Chorus)
I see a future and I see it without you!
I feel hope! I feel pride!
I feel self-motivation inside!
I see a place where I'll do what I have to.
And I know you didn't help!
I DID IT!
I SURVIVED!
(Yeah, I survived!)
(Verse 2)
How many times will my heart be broken once again?
Do I have to inflict the pain?
Will I have to say "You're not the one for me"?
Once again... How many times?
I'm living free!
Breathing steadily!
Living day by day with NO REGRETS!
(Bridge)
[Music softens, then builds]
Sunrise... Sunshine.
Oh, how I missed you so.
Shed this fear of moving on!
I'm resurrected!
(Resurrected!)
This is the power of freedom!
This is the power of free will!
(Guitar Solo)
[High energy, shredding solo]
(Final Chorus)
I see a future and I see it without you!
My children have taken the place that you held!
(They fill me up!)
I know you didn't help!
I DID IT!
I SURVIVED!
(Outro)
[Drums crash]
How many times?
Zero.
(Spoken) I'm done.
(Song ends)
