Take it from the start I wanted something bad so picked myself apart Dissected and I sold A piece of me to you Marrow from my bone I'm contaminated now You reached inside you took The parts you wanted out Maybe you forgot You can take what I have but I grow something better back Chin up Spine tall You won't take it away from me Each time You pull I make bigger and greener leaves And when you go I will still have the best of me My seed will grow You won't take it away from me You never learned to stop You viewed my as a pawn never recognized my power I smiled for my life You offered me no gifts You just bled my spirit dry I haunt you now I'm a living ghost of a boy who used to bow Without you in my life I'm thriving in my truth I cleanse and multiply Chin up Spine tall You won't take it away from me Each time You pull I make bigger and greener leaves And when you go I will still have the best of me My seed will grow You won't take it away from me Bury me in shadow thoughts Drown me like it's my own fault Try to block the sun But I can see right through you Put your hand to my heart Like you're unlocking a vault To steal what's in side But I know how to fool you Chin up Spine tall You won't take it away from me Each time You pull I make bigger and greener leaves And when you go I will still have the best of me My seed will grow You won't take it away from me
