I am strong.

Under this harsh light I can’t hear their words
Their mouths are just moving, everything blurred
And then it goes silent in my head and then
That’s when I realise you found me again

You’ve been here before; I remember you well
I remember your taste and your touch and your smell
You left here defeated, no lesson you’ve learned
For here we are once more, you’re here, you returned

You’re an unwelcome guest that I’m keeping at bay
I’m not tortured nor battered by games you may play
You may think you’re stronger, you may think you’ll win
You’re battle is weak and this war I will win

So maybe you’ll change me, the way that I look
But you won’t make me weak from the things that you took
With every attack that you may throw my way
I will just come back stronger, let’s play it my way

You’ve taken away things so precious to me
You’re hurting my family, just let us be
You’re weak and you sneak up on people, how low
That’s the best you can do – then you may as well go

When all this is over, when you have been banished
When all that you threw at my life has since vanished
When you have relented with no single trace
It will be the last time I look in your face.
