Now you know the way I feel,
I wish that I did too.
When everything I stand on fails,
The floor is falling through.
Come crashing down and try to shake,
This painful life I live,
When all along, I've never known,
Just what life's had to give.
So, I stand up (NOW)
And make my self aware.
So, I stand up (NOW)
Now, I've begun to care.
So, step back (NOW)
Stay the heck out of my way,
So, step back (NOW)
And listen to what I have to say.
(I) Will not be depending
(ON) The messages you're sending.
(I) Finally am standing
(ON) My two feet again, now.
(I) Am now understanding,
(JUST) What I've needed to know,
(I) Finally get it.
(MUST) Be able to breathe,
(I) Don't need you for that.
(NOW) I've finally woke up.
(I) Am finally happy,
(WITH) The men I have been.
(I) Never thought I would,
(I) Never knew I could!
