Silhouette

Written by Birdy, Rosie Doonan, Simon Aldred
There are shadows in my dreams Storms that steer me out of reach And you just wait on my defeat
So I built an army underneath And now they guard me while I sleep And this worn out frame will carry me
Don't go holding your breath You know that I'm not done yet There's still a fight in me left Don't go shouting out loud That you're claiming the crown I'm down but not out
And the bittersweet Of every new defeat Is I'm stronger that before Maybe on my knees But I still believe These broken wings will soar
Untie my silhouette It's all that is left Of a broken heart Leave all of my regrets To sink like ship wrecks Through oceans dark
In the dust I wrote my name And from the ruins hopes were raised Cause all that's lost can be replaced In time
Don't go holding your breath You know that I'm not done yet There's still a fight in me left Don't go shouting out loud That you're claiming the crown I'm down but not out
And the bittersweet Of every new defeat Is I'm stronger that before Maybe on my knees But I still believe These broken wings will soar
Untie my silhouette It's all that is left Of a broken heart Leave all of my regrets To sink like ship wrecks Through oceans dark
Untie my silhouette It's all that is left Of a broken heart Leave all of my regrets To sink like ship wrecks Through oceans dark
