Warrior - Beth Crowley

You fascinated me, cloaked in shadows and secrecy

The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully, afraid of what you thought I’d be

But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand

I question who I am

Teach me how to fight, I’ll show you how to win

You’re my mortal flaw and I’m your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test, I’ll prove that I am strong

Won’t let myself believe that what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior

My memory refused to separate the lies from truth

And search the past my mind created

I kept on pushing through, standing resolute, which you

In equal measure loved and hated

You take me by the hand

I’m seeing who I am

Teach me how to fight, I’ll show you how to win

You’re my mortal flaw and I’m your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test, I’ll prove that I am strong

Won’t let myself believe that what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior

Lies a warrior

You take me by the hand

I’m sure of who I am

Teach me how to fight, I’ll show you how to win

You’re my mortal flaw and I’m your fatal sin

Let me feel the sting, the pain, the burn under my skin

Put me to the test, I’ll prove that I am strong

Won’t let myself believe that what we feel is wrong

I finally see what you knew was inside me all along

That behind this soft exterior, lies a warrior

The pictures come to life, wake in the dead of night

Open my eyes, I must be dreaming

Clutch my pillow tight, brace myself for the fight

I’ve heard that seeing is believing
