Who You Are

They thought they broke you down
got it in their heads that they won somehow
They laughed and said they dug your grave
and all you had to do was fall in
but if they really believe you're giving it all up so easily
they don't know who you are!

Oh, I know, you're still standing
they're having a hard time comprehending:
how could you be alive?
how could you dare to face the night?
And I know, your armor's ready
a battle's been waged and you are winning
against all odds
despite every "you will not"
they don't know, what I know,
because I know who you are!!

They thought you hit the ground
made themselves believe that they wore the crown
They said they pushed you off the edge
and all you had to do was give in
but if they honestly expect you to let it all go to waste
they don't know who you are!

Oh, I know, you're still standing
they're having a hard time comprehending:
how could you be alive?
how could you dare to face the night?
And I know, your armor's ready
a battle's been waged and you are winning
against all odds
despite every "you will not"
they don't know, what I know,
because I know who you are!!

Who you are, is better than their best
stronger than all the rest
harder to break than tempered steel
you've got a heart with a golden center
crystalized with love in danger
and they're never gonna get to you
Trust me, I know who you are!!
