Fought Back

You threw your words like weapons in the dark, Every promise made was just a lie to mark The way you'd break me down, piece by piece, Said you loved me while you stole my peace. I took the beatdown, swallowed all the pain, Let your cruelty fall down like the rain, But I was bleeding out, losing myself fast, Didn't know I had the strength to make it last. I fought back, I fought back, Took my life and took it back, From the ashes, from the scars, I'm unbreakable, I'm a brand new start. In the mirror saw a stranger, broken and worn, Thought I'd never see another day reborn, You said nobody else would ever want me whole, But you were just a thief that stole my soul. Scarred and shattered, I could barely stand, Couldn't recognize myself, couldn't understand How I gave you all my power, all my fight, Till I learned to be my own damn light. I fought back, I fought back, Took my life and took it back, From the ashes, from the scars, I'm unbreakable, I'm a brand new start. Yeah, started from the bottom of a broken heart, You tore me down, tore my world apart, But I rose up, now I'm standing tall, I was falling, yeah, but I won't fall, You thought you had me pinned against the wall, But I got up every single time you'd call, Now I'm walking out these prison doors, Ain't your punching bag anymore, Scarred but stronger, bleeding but I'm free, Finally learned to love the person that's me, No more chains, no more lies, Watch me shine before your eyes. Love should never feel like a war you fight, Should never leave you broken in the night, But I learned my worth through all the pain, Found myself again, learned to sustain. I'm not bitter, no, I'm grateful now, For the strength that showed me how To walk away from what was killing me, To finally, finally be free. I fought back, I fought back, Took my life and took it back, I fought back, I fought back, Took my life and took it back, From the ashes, from the scars, From the beatdown, from the dark, I'm unbreakable, I'm unbreakable, I'm a brand new start. Yeah, I fought back... I'm unbreakable... I'm a brand new start.
