Become Healing
Heather Christie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Falling over and over again
Falling faster down down down
I couldn't stay away from things that gave me pain
I was a cut throat queen
A million mistakes, a million disgraces
Couldn't keep me away
From turning the page to a new day, yeah
I see it I'll breathe in
I like it - this feeling
Show me to become healing, yeah
I see it I'll breathe in
I like it - this feeling
Show me to become healing, yeah

Think of all the times you see
That you're running fast & deep
Into misery
Whats the secret to- the secret to healing?
I want to feel - I want to be real
I want to find freedom in me

Cause I see it I love it
The way that this feeling
Shows me to become healing yeah
Oh is it the reason I had to go through it
Just so I could become healing now

Scars that mark our skin
Are the art of living
I wouldn't trade it
But now i'm gonna change it
Scars that mark our skin
Are the art of living
I wouldn't trade it
But now i'm gonna change it

Never again will I say
'I don't understand the way
You're staying in the dark
Are you just afraid - don't you be afraid'
'Cause sometimes we have got to break
Before we can see the way
A new way to our lives
To a hope that stays
To love that is unchained

Cause I see it I love it
The way that I'm feeling
Show me to become healing yeah
Oh is it the reason I had to go through it
Just so I could become healing now

Scars that mark our skin
Are the art of living
I wouldn't trade it
But now i'm gonna change it

I'm gonna change it
I won't fake it




I won't break this time
I won't break this time
