lyrics

Loneliness, carved on a piece of wood
Helplessness, I can't help you like I could
Loneliness, I see it in your eyes
Hopefulness is the only thing you haven't tried

But now you're free
From the shackles that held you down
Don't be afraid of the water
'cause you won't drown
And you will build towers out of what used to be your shame
And I know things hurt right now, but those are just growing pains

Emptiness, I see it in your eyes
Tenderness is the only thing that makes you cry

But now you're free
From the shackles that held you down
Don't be afraid of the water
'cause you won't drown
And you will build towers out of what used to be your shame
And I know things hurt right now, but those are just growing pains

Though you're broken you're not unfixable
You left your heart open, but no one broke your fall

But now you're free
From the shackles that held you down
Don't be afraid of the water
'cause you won't drown
And you will build towers out of what used to be your shame
And I know things hurt right now, but those are just growing pains
