You told me I'd amount to nothing
Like drunkards in your lake front town
That you would always support me
Like orphans at the lost and found
But now that I am finally found

I'm standing up for myself now, darling
I'm breaking off and it hurts like hell
I'll have plenty to say when you're dead,
'Cause I can't help myself

I dream of making doctor's appointments
Where I can steal the nurses' meds
So you can make a quick recovery
From all the shit that I've been fed
And I would never leave my bed

I'm standing up for myself now, darling
I'm breaking off and it hurts like hell
I'll have plenty to say when you're dead,
'Cause I can't help myself.
No, I can't help myself

It never should have gone this far,
But if it did, I let you down.

I'm standing up for myself now, darling
I'm breaking off because it hurts like hell
I'll have plenty to say when you're dead,
'Cause I can't help myself

I'm standing up for myself now, darling
I'm breaking off and it hurts like hell
I'll have plenty to say when you're dead,
'Cause I can't help myself

I'm standing up for myself now, darling
I'm breaking off and it hurts like hell
I'll have plenty to say when you're dead,
'Cause I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself
No, I can't help myself
