Who I Used to Be


Let's reevaluate the situation

Things were said, I blew up and argued

I don't regret anything I said, it just shoulde been put another way.

I'm not the girl who keeps quiet anymore, I hold my own.

Words were meant to be spoken for a reason. You can't silence me anymore

In the past you won but no longer

Bottled emotions restrained the tongue

Restrained emotions forced violent tears and the silent cries you couldn't hear

No more shakig with blind anger

I won't let you win

He screamed and cursed the world while you stood there, did you even care?

No lawyer at my defene just threw me to the Grand Jury

But its ok because I'm standing up for mine
