Stand Up

by carm88

Bruised, crushed, I lie on the floor hoping, praying you leave Things you said scare my heart, fists that followed damaged me I'm broken, I'm hurt laying on the floor You don't get to make me or break me I am strong I will push on Watch me get up watch me leave Watch me go be me watch me Your broken, your heartless, your drunk now laying on the floor Your watching me I'm no longer watching you.
