lyrics

It was never hers to carry
But she hauled it all
Across the seven seas
And through the ridges of the desert
Where she fell for an illusion
Of the good times

There, she dropped the baggage
Of her maiden voyage
From a broken heart to mending
“Enough!” she cried
“My feet tire of walking
The fine line between
Caring and sacrifice.
I am mine.
I am mine.”

She turned on her heel
And blazed a trail of fire
Every petty thing he’d said about her body
Burned behind her.
With no fear of infraction,
She shattered the ceiling
Shaved half a head of hair
Oh, what an almighty feeling

“Enough!” she cried
“My feet tire of walking
The fine line between
Caring and sacrifice.
I am mine.
I am mine.”

Every gift is not a gift
(It was never hers to carry)
Oh a gift can be a curse
(It was never hers to carry)
So don’t wear the tattoo
(It was never hers to carry)
Of someone else’s burden
Someone else’s words.

“Enough!” she cried
“My lungs tire from talking”
“Enough!” she cried
“My heart tires from aching”
“Enough!” she cried
“My feet tire from walking
The fine line between
Caring and sacrifice
I am mine.
I am mine.”
