You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
I think that this part of the song means that you have to stand up for yourself and you need to know that you are in control of your life and that you have to be strong and stand up for your self and stop hiding in the shadow and you also have to be secure of your self and if somebody does'nt like you the way you are you have to stand up and show them that you don't need them in your life to make you happy.
