I still think about how it used to be

So entwined in my own lies, surrounded by this make believe

I've been held by despondency

I should have known the road I chose would run out on me (oh no)



I could've faded

Been jaded

By every consequence

Every word that you hurdled

Was part of my defense

You can hurt me

Desert me

It makes no difference



I give as good as I get



Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)

I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet



In my life, I had no room for comprimise

The things I've done have been the ones I have had to leave behind

Look in my eyes, you barely recognise

The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticise (oh no)



So I hide it

Divide it

Bout what I feel inside

Now I take it

Or make it

I'm gonna be alright

Whether you need me

Believe me

You'll never hurt my pride



Finally all this feels like



Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)

I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet



Look into my eyes

I wont be left behind

Everything's going to be fine

And I have never felt like this

I have no need to reminisce

Those old days have gone

And I keep holding on



Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)

I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet



Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)

I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet



Like a weight falling from my shoulders

I'm not going to go that way again (never going back)

When everybody said that my days were over

Would'nt get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)

You should've known it would make me stronger

I was never gonna fade away (don't you know that)

I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me

And it's all so bittersweet



[Fade]
