I still think about how it used to be
So entwined in my own lies, surrounded by this make believe
I've been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose would run out on me (oh no)
I could've faded
Been jaded
By every consequence (oh no no)
Every word that you hurdled
Was part of my defence
You can hurt me
Desert me
It makes no difference
I give as good as I get
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away(hey hey heyyy)
(don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
In my life, I had no room for comprimise
The things I've done have been the ones I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you barely recognise
The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticise (oh no)
So I hide it
Divide it
Bout what I feel inside (oh no no)
Now I take it
Or make it
I'm gonna be alright
Whether you need me
Believe me
You'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away(hey hey heyyy) (don't you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
And it's all so bittersweet
