I burned it down to nothingJust so I could seeWho would be left standingRight there next to meWhen all the smoke had clearedAnd the embers turned to ash,Who would be there next to meAnd who'd run to save their ass...It wasn't much of a surpriseIn fact, I saw it comingLong before I fueled the flamesThat sent those bastards running..Not many people have the strengthTo face this life aloneBut I'm not like any otherAnd I do better on my own..So don't think you can scare meIve always lived fifty steps ahead,I have since I was just a childAnd had to hide from my abuser..But yet here I am, still standingIn the midst of all this debris..And I'll rebuild something better allWithout you next to me...
