[Verse 1]
Gm Eb N.C.
I remember the minute
N.C. Gm Eb
It was like a switch was flipped
Gm Eb
I was just a kid who grew up strong enough
F
To pick this armor up
Gm Eb Gm
And suddenly it fit
Eb Gm Eb
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago...
Gm Eb F
I was little, I was weak, perfectly naive
Gm Eb
And I grew up too quick
[Refrain]
Cm Dm
Now you won't see all that I have to lose
F Gm Eb
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
Cm Bb
I won't let you in I swore never again
Eb F Gm Eb
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected
[Verse 2]
F Gm Eb
I want to break these bones 'til they're better
Eb Gm Eb
I want to break them right and feel alive
You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
F Eb
My healing needed more than time
Gm Eb Gm F
When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things
Gm
I see the familiar
F
I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too
Eb
Now I'm a broken mirror
[Refrain]
Cm Bb
But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
F Gm Eb
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
Cm Dm
I can't let you in- I swore never again
F Gm Eb
I can't afford to let myself be blindsided
[Verse 3]
Cm Bb
I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
F Gm Eb
And all I want is to trust you
Cm Bb
Show me how to lay my sword down
F Gm Eb
For long enough to let you through
Bb
Here I am, pry me open
Bb Eb
What do you want to know?
F Gm
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
F
To hold the door shut
Gm Eb
And bury my innocence
Bb Gm
But here's a map, here's a shovel
Eb Gm
Here's my achilles' heel
[Bridge]
Eb F Gm F Gm Eb
I'm all in, palms out, I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
F Gm F Gm Eb F Eb
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you i-----n
[Verse 4]
Cm Dm Bb
I'll shake the ground with a-a-ll my might
F Gm Eb
I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
Cm Dm
For the innocent, for the vulnerable
F Gm Eb
I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
Cm Bb
And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, I'll give my sweat-
F Gm Eb
An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
Cm Dm Bb
I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
F Gm Eb F
Invincible like I've never be---en
