Don't mistake the silences There's so much I haven't said It's not that quiet in my head But I can't even tell you that Whatever doesn't kill me Doesn't make me stronger But I'm not gonna give up yet And if these walls should weaken I'm still strong enough to know I'm gonna build them up again There's one more thing left to try (And it just might work) It scares me that you know why (And I don't know what's worse) Despite my only true desire I just can't keep an open mind Whatever doesn't kill me Doesn't make me stronger But I'm not gonna give up yet And if these walls should weaken I'm still strong enough to know I'm gonna build them up again (now that I am strong enough to know) I'm gonna build them up again (now that I am strong enough to know) I'm gonna build them up again (strong enough to know) There were walls and promises And they've all broken down to bits And it's exactly times like this I found the words I should have said Whatever doesn't kill me Doesn't make me stronger But I'm not gonna give up yet And if these walls should weaken I'm still strong enough to know I'm gonna build them up again
