Bottle it up
I was the fountain of youth
But now I am running dry
I was dying inside
The streams of my mind came to the well of life
Now through strength and love
I built a dam in my mind
I no longer cry
Now I feel like I can live without wanting to die
It is constant and overflowing
One day it will burst I know that inside
But through strength and love
I’ll find a way to survive
Because I would rather die on my knees than give in the ones who followed me here
Because I would rather die on my knees than give in to the ones who followed me here
But now I am running dry

The streams of my mind came to the well of life

I built a dam in my mind
I no longer cry
Now I feel like I can live without wanting to die
It is constant and overflowing
One day it will burst I know that inside
But through strength and love
I’ll find a way to survive
Because I would rather die on my knees than give in the ones who followed me here
Because I would rather die on my knees than give in to the ones who followed me here
