I glisten and I beam
I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back
I'm focused on my path
Day in day out
I'd pick up all the pieces
You'd run your mouth
I'd have to answer for it
Someway, somehow
You slipped through my defences
Lord knows what I was thinking
Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses
Cause all the time you left me here
Sitting second guessing
Finally, I saw into your superficial essence
Saw you just for who you are
What I'd give now to show ya
What I give now to say
Having you round was poison
I'm in a better place
Steady, I'm moving forward
I, shine on
I, shine on... I
Thought you had clout
To push me round so I
Gave in to my doubts
Knew how to take advantage
You kept me down
You love to feel important
Lord knows what I was thinking
Suddenly I felt that I was coming to my senses
All the time you had me here
Sitting second guessing
Finally, I saw into your superficial essence
Saw you just for who you are
I look in the mirror and I know my self worth
I glisten and I beam
Cause I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back now
I'm focused on my path
Floating like I'm in a dream
What I give now to show ya
What I give now to say
Having you round was poison
I'm in a better place
Steady, I'm moving forward
I, shine on
I, shine on... I
What I give now to show ya
What I give now to say
Having you round was poison
I'm in a better place
Steady, I'm moving forward
I, shine on
I, shine on... I
I glisten and I beam
I know I am a queen
Not ever looking back
I'm focused on my path
