I've got the keys to my heart
It's mine again
My thoughts, my actions, my decisions
I'm in control again
The lines in the sand have been traced
And I can see the mistakes for what they are
Mistakes
The birds chirp away happily
Singing the ancient lullaby with a frantic calm
And I see the song for what it is
The same as yesterday's
The world didn't stop because you hurt me
The wheels continued to turn
I continued to live even though my will was almost gone
But I refuse to wreck my ship
I choose to hoist my flags
I choose to let my sail down
I choose to live and love myself
The way I deserve to be loved
Not to get back at you
Oh no
But to get back to me
What had blinded me is now the lens through which I see
Because your opinions are opinions
Just not of me
The rivers are empty
I'll fill them no more
But I promise myself to fly
Like my feet will never again touch the floor
