Elisabeth Carlisle

Lyrics

You won't see me cry for you tonight
Cold look, bold face, this is how I fight
And I will fight this battle by your side

Perfect in every way, like wildflowers grow
In every step we'd take, we knew just where to go
Now how can it be that we are stuck within these walls
Helpless and confused by it all

Save me, forgive me, it's all just a game
Stop me, move me, it can't be the same
But you keep pushing on, despite the pain

You once told me that you never liked to quit
You'd always find a way to have it all make sense
But you didn't choose this and it cannot be explained
It's harder when there's nothing there to blame

Climbing, falling, trying to find my feet
Balance, safety, are dropping out beneath
So we grab on to what we call belief

Holding onto slivers left of hope
Courage, a solder, pillars built to cope

Beauty, brilliance, burning like a star
Anger, laughter, sides of who we are
And you have shown me strength beyond these walls
