For a while, the world just stopped
I wonder where it all went wrong
Somewhere deep inside,
I have a strange feeling telling me why

Scared and fragile,
Afraid to take another step.
Every move is calculated again,
Afraid to make a huge mistake.

Someone whispered words of encouragement
But some are also putting me to shame.
I want to yell it all to them
"I didn't do it, so why is it always me?!"

No one can make them understand
Or even defend my broken heart.
Even though I am not the root of it all,
Stones keep on coming at me.

Something's probably wrong with the world
That I know nothing about.
Many call me a liar
Telling me it is really all my fault.

Unable to stand again,
'Coz the nails pierced me so deep.
Unable to say a word,
'Coz even truth will not prevail here.

I almost lost sight of the goal
Almost gave up at the last second
Almost drowned at the bottom
Of the abyss of their judgment

I called out for help
But no words came out of my mouth
So tired to push back and go up
I guess, this is really my painful fate

When I closed my teary eyes
Saw darkness inside of me
But light came in to save me
Pulled me back and now I can breathe again

As I looked to see where it all came
No one was there, not even a shadow or sound
Drenched in cold water
I'm so glad, I didn't die at all

They all greeted me now
Thought they would throw stones again
But saw remorse building up
Seeing acceptance in their unknown faces

I wonder how it happened
I was just there, ready to die
But rescue came to me
I think I'm really that blessed

No one dared again
Hating me for something I didn't do
No one spoke ill of me
I guess, truth now is possible for me
