Original:
I'm ignoring the words you say
I want to gain what I think I lack
The words you say, makes me want to walk away
The young and the happy you see, I feel I can't portray
I used to be so confident and so controlled, I don't know how to gain back
I'm ignoring the words you say
What you want to see out of me, I can't just play
A simple reminder by saying, "You are loved," can help to put me on track
The words you say, makes me want to walk away
You praise him when I'm there, in the room, where I listen to myself starting to stray I don't want this to be endless, l've had this over me since I was nine, your way to attack I'm ignoring the words you say
I give in and say something, I have control when you don't get your own way
A boiling cauldron of anger and hit in the heart, with a stream down your face, you finally crack The words you say, makes me want to walk away
You expect me to obey when I can't just say okay
As you're ashamed of me, you yell and start to throw punches, it's like deja vu when it's only a flashback
I'm ignoring the words you say
The words you say make me want to walk away
Revision:
I hold my head up high
This is my new start
I face you, face to face, using my eyes
During my youth I was so shy
Without you, I'm now taking my part I hold my head up high
The same words, the same punches I deny
I'm taking over my own life, leaving you behind as I restart I face you, face to face, using my eyes
I used to lie
Because of you I became someone l'm not where I fell apart
I hold my head up high
