I'm Still Standing

This is the part I never saw coming

His voice haunts me, I'm dreaming

I want freedom once more

But he keeps playing me, I'm sore


One day he'll wake up and know his wrongs

He'll want to say sorry and not in song

I'll laugh in his face with pride

And wave my final goodbye


If what we had was love, then it was dumb

I hate him, and then some

He tried to steal what wasn't his

And my reply was this, 


"Before you try to hurt me

You must open your eyes and see

That in order to love myself

You have to respect yourself"


His response was full of anger

And i knew I couldn't stay with him much longer

Forever his was more like a curse

And my heart was stuck in a hearse


A part of me should have known

That a place with him was never home

To this day, his face still haunts me while dreaming

That was the part I never saw coming.
