Losing control and nothing seems worth while
Is a million tears worth just one smile
Pretending by day, agony of night
I wonder if it’s worth putting up a fight
Everything is conditional, you just can’t always anticipate
the conditions, I used to live by this motto
Send us to bed and take another hit
And you wonder why the resentment has grown
Open the door and let me go or I will rebel
You told me that you can’t pick your family
But guess what, you were wrong AGAIN!!
Someone tried to break me but I’m still here
I’m still standing and standing strong
Just because you call yourselves my parents
Doesn’t make it true
And now I have a new family who shows love and compation
A gift that was ripped away from my childhood
But as this goes through my mind
I realize you DID let me go
You know, even through you’d never admit it, you screwed up
And now I know what a family is
Someone tried to break me but I’m still standing
I’m still standing and standing STRONG!!
