i could not change, i could not be
what you needed me to be
so i lay down my arms
and i will fight no more
give my wounds some time to heal
so i cannot feel
let me be numb so i can smile and fake it for awhile

just give me faith and give me love
let it fall from up above
give me something i don't know, that i do not recognize
a brand new face, a brand new soul
let me rise up from the old and become someone you don't know
that you do not recognize

if i knew your memories, looking back what would i see?
were you different on your own, how could i know?
is it easier to heal, do you break now just to feel
a little something after all?
and now something is gone

following your will, that will get there for you
following behind and i won't ignore you
i hear the voices in my head, but i never listen to them

just give me faith and give me love
let it fall from up above
just give me something i don't know
a brand new face, a brand new soul
let me rise up from the old
and become someone you don't know
just give me wind upon my back
let me say i won't come back
take me somewhere i don't know
that i do not recognize
a brand new place to call my own
let me rise up from the old
become someone you don't know
that you will not recognize
