But I did


They told me I couldnt, but I did.

They told me I shouldnt, but I did.

They told me would never, but I did.

 

He told me not to lie, but I did.

He told me not to try, but I did.

He told me not to think, but I did.

 

She told me do not know, but I did.

She told me do not go, but I did.

She told me do not leave, but I did.

 

I told me to stop, but I didn't,

I told me to heal, but I didn't.

I told me to die, and I did.
