Walking Tall

It’s only a matter of time
before you loose it
-and I once believed in fire

And tear me up!
Something burns inside of me

You mark my words, the game is up
And why did you have to show
that it's just a grand illusion?
Why did you ever let me go?
-I'm asking you!

‘cause I'm walking tall,
marching down this shattered road
I've learned, pain means alive
and I'm slowly breaking through
-Without you!

So come clench your fist ‘round my heart
and leave me bleeding
It's already ripped to pieces
-blackened on the ground!

You gave me scars that never heal
Oh, why did you hurt me so?
You pathetic little person...
Just one more thing before you go,
-I'm telling you...

‘cause I'm walking tall,
marching down this shattered road
I've learned, pain means alive
and I'm slowly breaking through
-Without you!

‘cause I'm walking tall,
marching down this shattered road
I've learned, pain means alive
and I'm slowly breaking through
-Without you!
