I am strong when I'm quiet
I never let you see me stall
I can hate what you say and still smile
Only play on an open court
I am the ringleader of my own circle
Fall on my knees and I won't bleed
Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep
The pain of my scolds sets me free
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating
I rip me apart with one look
Use my heart as a crutch for my ego
And hope that I never never fall in love
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
This wonderful punishment called life
Use my heart and unravel it
Torn apart and I can't handle it
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
This wonderful punishment called life
This wonderful punishment called life
