Lyrics
I stitch together all my happy moments
I gather and connect all the moments of joy in my life
In this lace so I never have to look
I weave them into a protective covering so I can avoid facing difficult times
At the in betweens
Avoiding the moments in between, the challenging or neutral phases
I used my smile as a mask
I use my smile as a disguise or shield
So no one would ever have to ask, what happened?
To prevent others from questioning and understanding what went wrong
How did I break?
Questioning how I became broken or emotionally hurt
I buried you
I metaphorically laid to rest a part of my past or a relationship
My hands were shaking the day I became brave
My hands trembled on the day I found courage
I roped back the layers
I peeled away the layers of my experiences and emotions
I faced all, all of my horrors
Facing and confronting all my fears and challenges
I found I am stronger
Discovering my inner strength
Stronger than the monsters
Asserting resilience against formidable difficulties
Stronger than the monsters
(Repeated line) Emphasizing newfound strength
I walked away from the broken pieces of my life
I walked away from the shattered fragments of my life
That cut so violently deeply into me
Those fragments deeply wounded me
Wearing all my scars like medals
Wearing emotional scars proudly, like achievements
Looking into your deadlights
Confronting the harsh reality or facing difficult truths
No one will know how I broke
Keeping the process of my emotional breakdown hidden
I buried you
I metaphorically laid to rest a part of my past or a relationship
My hands were shaking the day I became brave
My hands trembled on the day I found courage
I roped back the layers
I peeled away the layers of my experiences and emotions
I faced all, all of my horrors
Facing and confronting all my fears and challenges
I found I am stronger
Discovering my inner strength
Stronger than the monsters
Asserting resilience against formidable difficulties
Stronger than the monsters
(Repeated line) Emphasizing newfound strength
My hands were shaking the day I became brave
My hands trembled on the day I found courage
