i will not give up
i will not give in

i am controlled
i can take it all in

i will win the battle
i will win the war

you don't think i can take it
give me more

the pain is just a numbness
icing through me

painful memories
i will bury

i may look weak
but inside i'm strong

i'll just keep fighting
all through the night long

your words can't hurt me
and neither can you

you don't know what to say
you don't now what to do

you thought you had me
thought i didn't know

but i figured it out
it's not my time to go

i've taken your dignity
i've taken your pride

and maybe now you'll remember
all the times that you lied

all the times that you pushed
all the times that you pried
