I give you a second to smart up

You threw your words like little
Knives
Cut me down in front of everyone
I used to carry that around
Like proof that I was never good enough
But I'm tired of dragging
AII that damage through my days
You can keep your story
I'll keep walking anyway
I'm forgiving all the people that hurt
Me badly
All the curses that you threw
They don't live in me
You're not crazy about me
I accept that fact
If that's your failure
I don't have to wear it on my back
We all got scars
none of us is perfect
Just reaching in the dark
I gave you a second chance
To smart up
