You kick me while I'm down
Shove my face into the ground
Fill my mouth with dirt
To remind me of the hurt
So I gasp and fight for air
But there's nothing for me there
You won't let me say the words
That your ears wished they heard
I told you that I'm trying
But you said it's not enough
And I told you that I'm sorry
But you locked my hands in cuffs
I'm strong enough to break them
'Cause I know that I am free

So you're too weak to move me
You say I didn't love you
But we both know that's not true
And you say that I never cared
After all the countless hours we shared
When I try to help you to rejoice
You push me away and mute my voice
You just have it all wrong
And I wish that we knew this all along
I don't pretend, I'm not fake
I have purpose with every step I take
And now my feet turn me around
'Cause there's a path without you that I just found
