The Story (Acoustic) Lyrics

There's a voice inside that haunts me, it wants the light
I'm ashamed of this, it's on me to make it right
Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end
No, I will not give in this time
Not afraid of pain, I won't be tonight

Turning the page, finding the way
Learn from the fire

I've been burned and I've been bruised
But I face the demons with nothing to lose
Never let 'em hold me down to the ground
I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story

In the sands of hate I've buried myself alive
Just to find my fate was to carry the weight of my pride
Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end
No, I will not give in this time
Paint me black but I will never fade
No, I won't fade into the night

I've been burned and I've been bruised
But I face the demons with nothing to lose
Never let 'em hold me down to the ground
I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story

I've been blind and I've been broke
But I find the answers the way that I know
I'll never let 'em hold me down to the ground
I'm holdin' my own 'cause I write the story

Sew the seams 'cause this is not the end
No, I will not give in this time
Paint me black but I will never fade
No, I won't fade into the night

I've been burned and I've been bruised
But I face the demons with nothing to lose
Never let 'em hold me down to the ground
I'm makin' it through 'cause I write the story

I've been blind and I've been broke
But I find the answers the way that I know
I'll never let 'em hold me down to the ground
I'm holdin' my own 'cause I write the story

I'll carry the weight of my pride
