To Rise and Fall

I've broken through the walls of fear,
Dishonesty and hate
To rise and fall, to bleed and heal -
I've found my own way.
I leave without the last good-bye,
My words are never heard.
And not a single tear shines -
It's more than you've deserved.
I've spread my wings, again I'm free,
And freedom means much more to me!
You're - just a memory!

To rise and fall,
To love and breathe,
To see the world 
Just as it is,
Pick up the pieces, fall apart,
Then mend another broken heart,
And never give up,
Never give up!

You never care - I don't mind,
My anger's set me free,
Take off your mask - I'm not yet blind,
And nevermore will be!
I loved the worst of lies so much,
Could not tell white from black,
I'm out of sight and out of touch
Now, and I won't be back!

To rise and fall,
To love and breathe,
To see the world 
Just as it is,
Pick up the pieces, fall apart,
Then mend another broken heart,
And never give up,
Never give up!

I'll carry on, I'll be okay,
I will not waste another day
On anyone who's just like you -
It's too much honor!
