I had to look at my life
And saw through the mess
I'm hiding my power
And giving what's left
Compromising my truth
Bend until I break
Complying little pieces
So easy to take, yeah
Then, people let me down
It was too much to bear
A ghost in my own home
Prisoner to my fears
Don't climb down the stairs
It's not my job to stay
And I ain't no superpower
It just worked out that way
'Cause I've been through the fire
Crawled through the desert
And I ain't going nowhere, (no-no) yeah
I had screamed from the mountain top
That I cried in the valley
You know I'm still here
I'm still here
All these scars on my face
They're hold in the light
Don't tell me it's been easy
'Cause you know that ain't right
The old time had its way
While my spirit paid the dues
You know I ain't broken
I'm just a little bit bruised, yeah
'Cause I've been through the fire
Drawled through the desert
And I ain't going nowhere, (no-no) yeah
I had screamed from the mountain top
That I cried in the valley
You know I'm still here
I won't carry no shame
Doing the things that I meant it to (meant it to)
Now the strength to survive was here
Won't a fool, I wasn't your fool (wasn't your fool), your fool
Don't try to beat me down
Lonely your hate
And although it lies (you're lied, you're lied)
Show me alone
I already told you once
I might bleed, but I won't cry, no
Oh, I won't cry
