Verse 1
Hurt people
Hurt people
The cycle continues
Until someone
Takes a stand
And says enough
Just because your abuser
Was too weak to do it
Doesn't mean that you can't
Go ahead and take that stand
And tell the world
That this is who I am really am
Chorus
You are not your past
And your abuser
Is not your fault
Fight back
By walking away
That's right walk
Get yourself a good life
And win by treating yourself right
Verse 2
Manipulation
Coarcion
And blackmail
Whatever they can do
To dig their claws into you
Then act like the victim
When you fight back
Gaslighting
To make you feel guilty
Pay no attention
And don't waste your feelings
You are not responsible for them
You are responsible for you and you alone
And you deserve a happy place
To call home
Chorus
