Yola - Stand For Myself lyrics

[Verse 1] I understand why you Close your eyes Why you deaf your ears Oh I realize now You wanna feel nothing Just like I was A coward in the shadows No view from above [Verse 2] Now I'm alive It's hard to explain It took this much time And took this much pain You can get here if you're willing Let go of yourself for a new beginning [Chorus] It was easier to sit, than stand for myself It was easy to give in, than stand for myself [Verse 3] I know why you hide away Why you keep so quiet Mind what you say now You think you're too much Too hot to handle You're stronger than anyone But still so fragile [Chorus] It was easier to sing, than stand for myself It was easy to give in, than stand for myself [Bridge] It was hard enough to go and live on I was so tired Trying to belong I was lost in the city You could see it in my eyes But I was still a dreamer In the middle of the night [Outro] Now I’m a-live, alive I’m alive I used to be nothing like you I used to feel nothing like you Now I’m a-live, alive I’m alive I used to be nothing like you I used to feel nothing like you Now I’m alive, alive I’m alive I used to be nothing like you I used to feel nothing like you Now I’m alive, alive I’m alive! Ooh Yeah! Ooh ooh Ooh coo coo Ooh coo coo Ooh coo coo Ooh coo coo
