I could’ve faded
Been jaded
By every consequence
Every word that you heard
Then was part of my defense
You can hurt me
Desert me
It makes no difference

I give as good as I get

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I’m not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Wouldn’t give their time to comprehend (you should’ve known that)
You should’ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don’t you know that)
I’ll keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
Ain’t it all so bittersweet

In my life had no room for comprimise
There’s things I’ve done there’ve been the ones I have had to leave behind
Look in my eyes, you will barely recognise
The woman who depended on you to sing a little praise or criticise (oh no)

So I hide it
Divided by what I feel inside
Now I’ll take it
I’ll make it
I’m gonna be alright
Whether you need me
Believe me
You’ll never hurt my pride

Finally all this feels like

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I’m not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would’nt give their time to comprehend (you should’ve known that)
You should’ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don’t you know that)
I’ll keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
Ain’t it all so bittersweet

Look into my eyes
I wont be left behind
Everything’s going to be fine
And I have never felt like this
I have no need to reminisce
Those old days have gone
And I keep holding on

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I’m not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would’nt give their time to comprehend (you should’ve known that)
You should’ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don’t you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
Ain’t it all so bittersweet

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I’m not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would’nt give their time to comprehend (you should’ve known that)
You should’ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don’t you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
Ain’t it all so bittersweet

Like a weight falling from my shoulders
I’m not going to go that way again (never going back)
When everybody said that my days were over
Would’nt give their time to comprehend (you should’ve known that)
You should’ve known it would make me stronger
I was never gonna fade away (don’t you know that)
I keep it coming, my destiny aint running away from me
Ain’t it all so bittersweet
