I walk out of the shade into the light
For what must be the very first time
I don't walk fast
I'm enjoying each step
Then I see you from a distance
And I smile
Smile through my teeth
Falling apart is not for me
I'd rather stick to fighting
When I've been here for years
For a thousand years
There will still be dark days and..
I cry, even though I smile
Smiling through tears
Is something that I'll recommend
Sometimes, when you're near
Oh I sense you've been here
I know it has taken a while
For me to come clear
It's getting darker outside
I put on a coat
It's been a while since I felt cold
I do not walk fast
I'm enjoying each step
Then I see you from a distance
And I smile
Smile through my teeth
I cry, even though I smile
Smiling through tears
Is something that I'll recommend
Sometimes, when you're near
Oh I sense you've been here
I know it has taken a while
For me to come clear
For what must be the very first time
I don't walk fast
I'm enjoying each step
Then I see you from a distance
And I smile
Smile through my teeth
Falling apart is not for me
I'd rather stick to fighting
