Julia Ho - Lifetime

Five years ago, I opened the door
Stood there just staring through the frame
I felt it right then, the fear and the joy
But I've been keeping it in for a lifetime
Fast forward to now, I'm still staring right through
I wish I could just take a small step or two
Locked in my heart is a truth I've been hiding
I've been keeping it in for a lifetime
I wish I could tell you what's going on inside
So let's go on a journey for a long, long ride
Instead I just choke on the tears and the lies
Cuz I've been holding it in for a lifetime
I'll ponder and putter till I can see clearly
I'm keeping my secrets from the ones who love me dearly
Through the harshest storms and every sky full of rain
Someday soon the sun will shine through a pocket in the grey
My soul has hurt and my heart has bled
I'm still waiting for my first breath
High tide and low tide; ebb and flow until now
Hiding truth won't hide the pain, so I should love her just the same
I wish I could tell you what's going on inside
So let's go on a journey for a long, long ride
Instead I just choke on the tears and the lies
Cuz I've been holding it in for a lifetime
I made my way through what felt like life drifting away
Rock bottom knows me well, but so does love I'd say
In the eye of the storm now, sail well-loved and worn
Held in for a lifetime, now peaceful and warm
