Invincibility

You were afraid because the darkness 
Revealed to you something you have never seen before
Breathless and determined, 
I had to let go of the pressures of everyday living just to be here with you 
Just to be reassured that you are everywhere I go 
I can't live without a trace of you, I hope you know

Pre-Ch: I'm stronger than I realize
I'm not alone
And I'm not a failure
I won't fall victim to you anymore, feeling so un-insecure 
I will stand up for what's right, I'm pretty sure 
So back off or I'll play rough
I don't play mind games 
I won't feel any shame 

Ch: We are safe and sound now...
We survived somehow...wow...
Maybe because we are invincible 
Don't treat us like we're invisible 
The closeness of our hearts warms me up inside, 
For I know for certain that there's a brighter future in store 
Regretful and blowing away in the wind, 
I had to face restless nights to notice that what doesn't kill you makes you invincible...
Our willpower will stay true

I wish I was bold to the bone 
Fix these scars that I bore alone 
Illuminate my mindset that sucks up the debris of negativity 
I count on you to make my cup half full instead of half empty 
I have grown accustomed to you the moment you opened my eyes to the light
This fondness has made me a man of courage 
Ever since I first laid eyes on you, you lit me up with delight
It's all good to be true, but I'm not ready for marriage 

Pre-Ch
Ch 

Invincibility is buried deep inside our cranium 
Vulnerability is my enemy that beat me down until I was nothing but stepped-on, gross gum
Because of you, 
I'm forced to smile during the face of tribulation 
I'll just assume 
That trusting you will lead to unimaginable sensation
I have thick skin, so I have no need to hide 
I can bite the bullet
The pain I have concealed inside -
See right through it

Pre-Ch
Ch 

Under the spell of havoc and lies that I detest...
God will drive away my sins as far as East to West...
Help is on its way
I see you as clear as day
I conquered these hardships that were hard to face
My invincible nature was in me...a grace that has a minute trace
