"One Man Army" lyrics
Hold tight, yeah, wrap your arms around me
Feeling like a one-man army
Lord, I need ya, need ya
I just could use a friend
Darkness that now surrounds me
Whisper the words, "I'm sorry"
I don't mean to hurt you, too
Oh
I'll fight till these chains are broken
Hidin' the pain I'm holding
Lord, I'm reachin', reachin'
Show me your guidin' hand
Old fear leave my heart wide open
Each breath full of my emotions
I don't mean to hurt you too (Yeah)
Oh
The darkest nights—the ones nobody see, no option for retreat
I spent so long inside the chaos, start to feel like peace
I'm tired of trippin' over mountains I'm supposed to climb
And expectations that keep pullin' down the more I reach
I'm prayin' God to make me stronger, need somethin' to believe in
If I keep sufferin' for a purpose, show me what's the meanin'
I talk myself in circles tryna justify my mind
Become so numb it's hard to tell these days if I been dreamin'
Unpacked trauma I'm tryna process, wake up in these cold sweats
Butterfly—I know there's beauty under my cold flesh
It's breakin' through—I wish they saw me for who I'm changin' to
I'm better off without distractions, I was afraid to lose
I needed faith, I got too blinded, I couldn't see my chains
Struggled through the darkness, but in hindsight, I'm so glad it came
Along this journey, bein' empty made me full of shame
Till I barely recognized who I became, eh
Hold tight, yeah, wrap your arms around me
Feeling like a one-man army
Lord, I need ya, need ya
I just could use a friend
Darkness that now surrounds me
Whisper the words, "I'm sorry"
I don't mean to hurt you, too
Oh
I'll fight till these chains are broken
Hidin' the pain I'm holding
Lord, I'm reachin', reachin'
Show me your guidin' hand
Old fear leave my heart wide open
Each breath full of my emotions
I don't mean to hurt you too (Yeah)
Oh
I dig my heels into the dirt—this my final stand
I'm sorry, I don't mean to hurt you, but I know I can
I guess I forget all the strength that my hands possessing
At seventeen, I didn't realize what this life demands
Admittedly, my biggest weakness always been 'bout patience
In other words, I'm fightin' storms of my own creation
Prayin', "Lord, don't let me drown, help me walk on water"
Am I just talkin' to myself or this a conversation? Ay
Heart too broken, now it's collapsin'—I'm feelin' trapped in
I built up walls while ignorin' the foundations crackin'
Why's it I struggle to forgive myself and show compassion?
It's when I'm silent that I start to hear too much
My blood flowin'—a rush, adrenaline help me copin'
There's days I hate the world and fight controlin' my emotion
If this story isn't finished, help me see the door that's open
And leave behind this weight I've been continuously holdin', yeah
Hold tight, yeah, wrap your arms around me
Feeling like a one-man army
Lord, I need ya, need ya
I just could use a friend
Darkness that now surrounds me
Whisper the words, "I'm sorry"
I don't mean to hurt you, too
Oh
I'll fight till these chains are broken
Hidin' the pain I'm holding
Lord, I'm reachin', reachin'
Show me your guidin' hand
Old fear leave my heart wide open
Each breath full of my emotions
I don't mean to hurt you too
Oh
Don't mean to hurt you too
Oh
I don't mean to hurt you too
Oh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I don't mean to hurt you too
Feeling like a one-man army

I don't mean to hurt you, too
Oh
I'll fight till these chains are broken
Hidin' the pain I'm holding
