You don't know how long it took Chasing out my demons You don't know how long it took To know I wasn't cheated You were the one that I looked to Your words were meant to hold me But you turned me away It was hate that you showed me So you can shut me out But I will stand tall And you can let me down But I will be strong He's a light that I turn to And she's a love I'll never lose So you can shut me out But I will stand tall and proud You don't know how much I cried Before I could order the words Your face is seared in my memory A face that I didn't deserve 'Cause you are the one that I looked to Your words were meant to hold me But you turned me away It was hate that you showed me So you can shut me out But I will stand tall And you can let me down But I will be strong He's a light that I turn to And she's a love I'll never lose So you can shut me out But I will stand tall and proud Well, maybe it's too late, too late To say what you didn't say But I'll be okay So you can shut me out But I will stand tall And you can let me down But I will fly and soar He's a light that I turn to She's a love I'll never lose So you can shut me out (Shut me out) But I will stand tall and proud And proud, oooooh
