Ijawo, Rachel Leycroft - Back To Life Lyrics

I once lived half a life
Convinced that it was whole
But stacking up the lies
Trying to hide takes a toll
I paid the highest price
Was ripping at the seams
And all I did was try fighting
Truth by swimming upstream
They never really knew me
I never really told
But you saw what they couldn't see
And my ripped threads turned to gold
You un-broke my mirror
Undid my lies
Unlocked the flames in my eyes
You un-spoke the fears that I hid behind
Yeah you brought me back to life
Yeah you brought me back to life
Didn't want them to talk
Didn't care what I hid
So much that I forgot
Who I was to start with
I let them call the shots
And dictate how I lived
Didn't know how to stop
Just got more lost
Until you stepped in
They never really knew me (never really knew me)
I never really told
But you saw what they couldn't see
A faded heart turned bold
You un-broke my mirror
Undid my lies
Unlocked the flames in my eyes
You un-spoke the fears that I hid behind
Yeah you brought me back to life
Brought me back
Brought me back to life

I once lived half a life
Convinced that it was whole
But stacking up the lies
Trying to hide takes a toll
I paid the highest price
Was ripping at the seams
And all I did was try fighting
Truth by swimming upstream
They never really knew me
I never really told
But you saw what they couldn't see
And my ripped threads turned to gold
You un-broke my mirror
Undid my lies
Unlocked the flames in my eyes
You un-spoke the fears that I hid behind
Yeah you brought me back to life
Yeah you brought me back to life
Didn't want them to talk
Didn't care what I hid
So much that I forgot
Who I was to start with
I let them call the shots
And dictate how I lived
Didn't know how to stop
Just got more lost
Until you stepped in
They never really knew me (never really knew me)
I never really told
But you saw what they couldn't see
A faded heart turned bold
You un-broke my mirror
Undid my lies
Unlocked the flames in my eyes
You un-spoke the fears that I hid behind
Yeah you brought me back to life
Brought me back
Brought me back to life
