Standing Strong

I hope that the bomb won’t explode

I’m trying to resist the twist in this road

There’s no easy way to say “I told you so”

To someone you love

And I need a remedy

With time and its design there’s no guarantee

It’s a difficult task to ask for things you need

From someone you love

So I’ve drawn a line you shall not cross

Your audience is at a loss

Don’t tell me I’m a worthless cause

I’m standing strong

And I must admit that I’m a bit trapped

I’ve avoided the scars so far by making you laugh

It’s a delicate place to face the demons you have

With someone you love

So I’ve drawn a line you shall not cross

Your audience is at a loss

Don’t tell me I’m a worthless cause

I’m standing strong

So loosen your grip on the chip on your shoulder

It’s getting heavier as you’ve gotten older

And I’m gonna stand my ground

If you keep letting it way you down

So I’ve drawn a line you shall not cross

Your audience is at a loss

Don’t tell me I’m a worthless cause

I’m standing strong

And every time you hear me sing these words

I hope they hit their mark I hope they burn

Your ears, and disappear

Like a lesson learned

I hope that the bomb won’t explode

I’m trying to resist the twist in this road

There’s no easy way to say “I told you so”

To someone you love
