[Verse 1]
Softspoken, if ever out loud
These days not much gets out
My mind digs graves through the past
But never takes time to finish the act
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I shoulder the burden?
Can I stomach the past?
[Chorus]
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
[Verse 2]
No matter how cold it might get
My bed sheets are laced with regret
I try to fill in the lines
Rework the plans for a better design
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I shoulder the burden?
Can I stomach the past?
[Chorus]
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
[Bridge]
Here I am, bearing every burden
Here I am, showing every worry
To the world, to the world
[Chorus]
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a flame in the pouring rain
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try to stand steady
Like a bird in a hurricane
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
[Outro]
Looking back on my youth
It's good that I've grown
Watch me try
