You get so scared sometimes.
You wish someone could hear you.
That someone would listen.
But then you think,
it'll all go away.
And before you know it,
it's too late.
Times like this,
I wish that I could let go
And open up a window,
free to be myself
But then there's you,
standing over me Trying to make a fool of me,
trying to get the best of me, oh
Then there's you, trying to shut me out
Trying to kick me when I'm down
That ain't gonna stop me now, no
How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?
Your words don't mean a thing at all
I choose to rise,
you choose to fall
How does it feel to know that I am capable
Of more than you will ever know?
Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving up
When you're over now
You gave me fire
Every time you came around
My feet are steady on the ground
Like this I'm picking up the pieces I'm making up the reasons not to tell us so
Times like this.
I'd rather speak to no one.
I just wanna move on
Stand up on my own
But then there's you standing over me trying to make a fool of me trying to get the best of me Oh
Then there's you, tryna shut me out,
tryna kick me when I'm down
That ain't gonna stop me now, no
How does it feel to know that I don't care at all?
Your words don't mean a thing at all,
I choose to rise,
you choose to fall
How does it feel to know that I am capable of more than you will ever know?
Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving up And you're over now
You gave me fire
Every time you came around
My feet are steady on the ground And you knocked me down
Now I'm unbreakable Now I'm unbreakable
I remember getting teased as a kid
Cause of the place that we lived
We never had it easy,
believe me But that don't excuse the things that we did
I was never accepted,
shed so many tears like I fell in depression
Thought if I changed I wouldn't get caught names,
but it was all the same
I was feeling rejected,
putting someone down, that's a low blow
What goes around comes around like a yo-yo
Who said I can stop time like a photo?
But we stand strong,
bounce back like a pogo
Don't tell me I'm not good enough
Don't you bring me down
I'm moving on
And you're over now
You get me fired
You came around,
my feet are steady on the ground
