Lyrics

I've been walking through the wreckage
Breathing in the smoke and dust
Every whisper feels like thunder
Every shadow breeds mistrust
But the fire couldn't take me
And the silence couldn't win
Now I'm carving through the darkness
Just to see the light again

I've got burns I'll never cover
I've got cracks you'll never see
But they hold me all together
Like I'm holding back the sea

I've been fighting waves forever
Every scar is my proof
You can try to tear me under
But you'll never break me loose
I'm standing here in the open
Let the waves come for me
I'm stronger than the storm
I'm holding back the sea

Every step feels like a warning
Every breath a quiet fight
But I've learned to keep on moving
Even when there's no more light
And the echoes try to haunt me
Like they own the air I breathe
But I've turned them into anthems
That are only sung for me

I've got burns I'll never cover
I've got cracks you'll never see
But they hold me all together
Like I'm holding back the sea

I've been fighting waves forever
Every scar is my proof
You can try to tear me under
But you'll never break me loose
I'm standing here in the open
Let the waves come for me
I'm stronger than the storm
I'm holding back the sea

You can't take the fight from me
You can't strip the fire clean
Every wound just lights the fuse
And I've got nothing left to lose

You can't take the fight from me
You can't strip the fire clean
Every wound just lights the fuse
And I've got nothing left to lose

I've been fighting waves forever
Every scar is my proof
You can try to tear me under
But you'll never break me loose
I'm standing here in the open
Let the waves come for me
I'm stronger than the storm
I'm holding back the sea

Holding back the sea…
Holding back the sea…
Nothing's breaking me
