I have searched for the meaning of my existence
I have let my innocence go
I have ended my defenseless heart
I have searched for
The love and the recognition
I have paid the price of silence
I'm hurt and restarting

You have given me the desire to be me
Give a sense of my why
You have killed the fear
who slept there, slept there
in my arms
