I remember the minute
It was like a switch was flipped—
I was just a kid who grew up strong enough
To pick this armor up
And suddenly, it fit
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago...
I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive
And I grew up too quick
Now you won’t see all that I have to lose
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
I won’t let you in, I swore never again—
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected
[...]
Here I am, pry me open
What do you want to know?
I’m just a kid who grew up scared enough
To hold the door shut
And bury my innocence
But here's a map, here's a shovel
Here’s my Achilles' heel
I’m all in, palms out, I’m at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in.
