Crooked Smile

This is the side of my story Where nothing seems to matter, just lost in the glory Life's a wild ride, with highs and lows Happy on the surface, but inside I choke If I fall, I'll mend the pieces When I cry, I find my own releases No one knows the pain I hide Behind this crooked smile, I'm slowly dying inside Look, I'm standing, shouting to be free God, please raise me up, lift me from the debris I won't wear the label, I won't play the part I'm living for the moments that heal my heart Holding back the tears, it's hard to be strong But I'll keep on fighting, I've been holding on For those who still need me, I'll carry the weight Living till my last breath, it's never too late Look, I'm standing, shouting to be free God, please raise me up, lift me from the debris I won't wear the label, I won't play the part I'm living for the moments that heal my heart With each step I take, I'm finding my way No longer the black sheep, I'm here to stay Look, I'm standing, ready to be me Shouting to the heavens, finally free.
