A Whole Lot Stronger

I will no longer allow you to beat me down, And no longer will I wear a frown. I was able to wake up and get on my dress, I've done what I needed to work through the mess. I am able to wear a smile today, I'm done with just being okay. I'm getting a whole lot stronger, You cannot hold me down any longer. I belong to me, And none of this will you ever see. One good lesson I have learned, Is that I don't have to be continuously burned. I carry my head high now with pride, Look at everything you have to hide. I am getting a whole lot stronger, You cannot hold me down any longer. I have excepted responsibility for what I've done, I no longer have to run. You claimed to be a friend, My back I did break and bend. For you I lied, For you I cried. But I'm getting a whole lot stronger, And you cannot hold me down any longer!
