Going out of my mind over someone I barely know
Never did I realise this is the way my life would go
I was always such a strong girl, in my heart and in my head
But nowadays I analyse every little word that’s said
I’m not sure when the tables turned; when I became so weak
Or when I decided that validation is what I needed to seek
But for some unknown reason, I’m a shadow of my former self
I’ve taken myself out the running, put myself upon a shelf
Yet nobody is going to respect me or believe a word I say
If I don’t stand up and be counted; if I don’t walk my own way
So I think the time has finally come to regain the strength I had
To start feeling proud of myself, to stop feeling so sad
To stop this endless battle, to believe in what I think
To put myself at number one; always trust my gut instinct
To not let anybody bring me down or make me feel so low
To point my body, head and heart in the way I want to go
And not let anybody hold me back or make me lose my mind
To finally have faith in me. That old strength I need to find.
