Resilient

by Owner of an Untamed Heart   Apr 24, 2013


I'm on the edge
But I won't take a step closer,
You're watching instead,
Waiting for me to tip over
You would like that, wouldn't you ?
You would like to see me fall,
You would love to see me perish,
Cause anyway, after all

You've only seen my tears,
You've seen me throw and break a few chairs,
You've only experienced my weaknesses
So you wanna see me try to catch the air,
But I won't fall down

I've been broken into nothing,
I've been burned, like you, no less
But the smell of the saltwater
Makes me want to try my best,
Yes, I've been down in the dumps
There were days when I failed the, test
But as long as my heart keeps beating
You'll one day see my true, happiness

I know what a smile looks like,
I know that love feels great
So don't believe I deserve death
Just because I'm prone to break
Yes, I'm on this edge everyday,
There were times when I wanted to, die
But I won't fall down for your satisfaction
Think I'd rather prove you wrong, and stay alive
