None of you can hurt me now, however hard you try.
I’m taking all my anger and gathering it inside.
My violent blood is beating a tattoo in my chest,
I was hopeful, I was foolish, I was always second-best.
I have been hiding away, nursing my shattered heart.
They say two wrongs don’t make a right, but I guess that it’s a start.
I’m killing off that side of me, it never did me good.
I’ll never be the victim that you say I should.
Maybe I am just like my dad,
Full of hatred and vile.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I’m not a stupid child.
All the violence tainted me,
Every insult you shout my way.
The names you call me and pain you cause
Make me stronger every day.
I lie and cheat and bleed out and my grudges linger on.
She’s good and she is sweet but I am going to be so strong.
Now that I am so broken, imagine just what I can do.
You think that this’ll kill me; you haven’t got a clue.
I don’t want the kisses of the girls of purer blood,
But I refuse to feel like this; I’m sick and tired of love.
I’m a walking contradiction; you might think that I’m a freak.
But I don’t give a damn, and anyway, I say that you are weak.
Maybe I am just like my dad,
Full of hatred and vile.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I’m not a stupid child.
All the violence tainted me,
Every insult you shout my way.
The names you call me and the pain you cause
Make me stronger every day.
Maybe it’s in my blood,
And I’m sick and terrified,
But I’ll accept my fate with grace
As the good in me dies.
They say that true love conquers all,
But I don’t see it that way.
I’m bitter and I’m losing it,
And I’m stronger every day.
