E
I'm neither more, I'm neither less

And I'm not trying to take some test
And I'm not trying to prove myself

And I'm not trying to run away... away from you

Like the sun bringing the morning

And I know... it was all for you

And when I get to walk the streets

When I see the past beneath

My heavy heart is finally free

And I've been scarred by words and swords

But here I am, the will to live

My heavy heart is finally free
