about

I wrote this song of defiance after hearing gossip and opinions about me, it is about standing tall when some people seem committed to tearing you down.

lyrics

I heard a lie the other day,
I'd spoken words I'd never say,
And it's so easy to disguise a broken heart beneath the smiles,

The loudest lough belies the tears,
A confidence to hide the fears,
And so they've to come to take me down,
Cuz I stood tall upon their ground,

But I won't retreat,
I strand stronger on my feet,
And I know I'll take the blows,
Cuz I'm proud to stand upon my feet,

So they judge what they see,
Before I've spoken they've already defined me,
And it's a role that I could never break apart,
Cuz I know that I was me right from the start,

But I won't retreat,
I strand stronger on my feet,
And I know I'll take the blows,
Cuz I'm proud to stand upon my feet,
