[Verse 1]
I am the one, your help I've refused
You're offering hand just set off the fuse
I am the rock that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow to spite today

[Pre-Chorus]
Too proud to beg
Too stubborn to try
I'd look in your face
And spit in your eye
But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to

[Chorus]
Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo, shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
Cause I am ready

[Verse 2]
I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eyes now blackens my view
I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone

[Pre-Chorus]
Who tied the other
End of my rope?
I want to move on
I want to have hope
So I'm willing to change, I'm going to try
To show I am strong enough to

[Chorus]
Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ shadow to light
Quo modo‚ pull me up
Pull me up
Cause I am waiting
