As if that is something easy Suppressed for so long Just say something No didn't work That wasn't love There was no protector I now protect myself I'm stronger and wiser The truth is hard to handle I cut cords with those people I learned lessons nobody should have endured I open my heart to new beginnings Filled with real love I'll speak up for my wants and needs Even if my voice shakes I'll say something to you I found myself through the storms of life
