Standing Tall (song# 100)

Standing Tall

All these scars they give me focus

But I don't learn from my mistakes

All these tears like pools like oceans

Turn me back no matter what it takes

Drowning

In regret

Falling

I forget

Longing

To turn it all around

But I am standing tall

I am standing tall

Through the looking glass

Through it all

I am standing tall

All these memories they give me pause

But I have never liked to wait

Results don't justify the cause

Closing doors but opening gates

Drowning

In regret

Falling

I forget

Longing

To turn it all around

But I am standing tall

I am standing tall

Through the looking glass

Through it all

I am standing tall

Turning

My world on its edge

Turning 

But cannot forget

Turning

Towards what's ahead

Drowning

In regret

Falling

I forget

Longing

To turn it all around

But I am standing tall

I am standing tall

Through the looking glass

Through it all

I am standing tall
