how do I continue to let you pull me down?
how long do I let you drag me through the ground?
how long will you smile in my face
and talk behind my back like I'm a disgrace?
see they told me that sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,
but they were never called the names I've heard and its more than just words.
its deep down binding, emotional grinding, organ crushing and always bad timing.
I try my best to be the best me I can, to put my best foot forward, smile my prettiest smile, and never give a cold shoulder.
I opened my ears, heart and my mind
to always be thoughtful, loving and kind.
then I finally realized thats its not me
its all you in your misery.
the lies you were told and misfortunes you faced
you never let them go, you decided to displace
them on a pure soul, one thats fresh and new
one that wouldnt know that you were being untrue
but not to worry, I still love you
for I have the love of the Lord in my heart, spirit and mind
and I will always be loyal and true
because what you do unto others will come back to you.
