lyrics

This was your plan from day one
Get under my skin, make me come undone
I was too young to understand
So every time you attacked I couldn’t fight back

You live to watch me fall
You long to make me feel small
You want to rob me of all value
But I’ve got news for you

You can’t control me
You have no power over me
Sneak around like a thief in the night
Come to steal, come to kill
But I’m still alive
You do not own me
Your words will not destroy me
Knock me down but you won’t get me out
(Get me out, get me out)
I’m so much stronger now

Now that I’m older I see
You’re the side effect taking over me
Each night when I close my eyes
The demons scream in my head “You’re better off dead”

You live to watch me fall
You long to make me feel small
You want to rob me of all value
But I’ve got news for you

You can’t control me
You have no power over me
Sneak around like a thief in the night
Come to steal, come to kill
But I’m still alive
You do not own me
Your words will not destroy me
Knock me down but you won’t get me out
(Get me out, get me out)
I’m so much stronger now

I’m stronger but not fully healed
Sometimes the hate is all I feel
But with each day that passes by
I’m exposing all your filthy lies

You are all lies

You can’t control me
You have no power over me
Sneak around like a thief in the night
Come to steal, come to kill
But I’m still alive
You do not own me
Your words will not destroy me
Knock me down but you won’t get me out
(Get me out, get me out)
I’m so much stronger now
