Stronger without you

You thought I'd crumble Thought I'd fade Under your words, the games You played You tore me down, made me Believe That I was nothing, no air to Breathe But when you closed the door Threw me away You gave me freedom, a Brighter day Homeless and scared, I found My ground While you stayed safe, I turned it Around I'm stronger without you, can't You, see? The chains you made could Never hold me You called it love, but it was Control I've found myself, I've found my Soul You were my cage, but now I'm Free I'm stronger without you, finally Me You think you were there Because you gave A token here, a gift to save But being there means standing Strong Not leaving me to face what's Wrong I begged, I pleaded, I showed You the way But your pride was a wall that Wouldn't sway You wonder now why I walked Out But ten years of silence Drowned my shouts I'm stronger without you, can't You, see? The chains you made could Never hold me You called it love, but it was Control I've found myself, I've found my Soul You were my cage, but now I'm Free I'm stronger without you, finally Me Out on the streets, I learned to Survive Found the strength to keep Hope alive Real love, real friends, showed Me the way Lessons you never could Convey You'll never know the pain you Gave The years I spent as your quiet Slave But I've risen higher, left you Behind A life of my own, my peace to Find I'm stronger without you, can't You, see? The chains you made could Never hold me You called it love, but it was Control I've found myself, I've found my Soul You were my cage, but now I'm Free I'm stronger without you, finally Me You'll never break what I've Rebuilt A life of joy, untainted by guilt Stronger without you, I walk this Path Free from your shadow, free From your wrath.
