Oh, yeah
I still think about how it used to be
So entwined in my own lies, surrounded by this make believe
I've been held by despondency
I should have known the road I chose would run out on me
Oh, oh no
I could've faded, been jaded by every consequence
Every word that you hurdled was part of my defense
You can hurt me, desert me, it makes no difference
I give as good as I get
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away, don't you know that?
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet? (oh yeah)
In my life, I had no room for compromise
There's things I've done that've been the ones that I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you will barely recognize
The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticize
Oh-oh, no
So I hide it, divide it 'bout what I feel inside (no, no, no)
Now I take it or make it, I'm gonna be alright (be alright, oh)
Whether you need me, believe me, you'll never hurt my pride
Finally all this feels like
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger (known it made me stronger)
I was never gonna fade away, don't you know that?
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet?
Look into my eyes, I won't be left behind
Everything's gonna be fine and I have never felt like this
I have no need to reminisce
Those old days have gone and I keep holding on
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away, don't you know that?
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet?
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again (go that way again, baby)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger (should've known, oh)
I was never gonna fade away, don't you know that?
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet?
Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I'm not gonna go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn't get the time to comprehend (you should've known that)
You should've known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away, don't you know that?
I keep it coming, my destiny ain't running away from me
Ain't it all so bittersweet?
