Song Lyrics Verse 1
Who you thought I was
Is not who I am
While you were busy
Talking about me
Behind my back
And kicking me down
I was listening
And learning from
Everything and everyone
All around me
Back then it killed me
Scared and controlled me
Now I know better
Am stronger
And smarter now
Proud I survived
You assholes somehow
Chorus
Lost little girl
Shortest in her class
Not a true friend
To be had
Scared to talk
Or even be herself
Stronger now
Never again
To be beaten down
Verse 2
I was one
Of the chosen ones
To be bullied
Right out of school
Yes their were others
None of us
Ever had a chance
Never thought
I would get away
But get away I did
Best decision I ever made
Was to leave
Find a place
That was right for me
Started over
In a school
Where I no longer
Felt like a stranger
I was home
Chorus
Verse 3
You controlled
8 years of my life
Even one year
Was one too many
But that doesn't matter now
Because of the people
The friends
The life after you
That I had found
I may be stuck now
Back in town
But it doesn't matter
I am your victim no longer
And never will be one again
May not like being here
But at least now
I am a strong enough person
To hold my head up high
And be who I am
Not who you tell me to be
And that folks
Means everything
Chorus
