This is me, not caring what you think.
This is you, trying to tear me down.
This is me, sticking my fingers in my ears.
This is you, screaming so I’ll still hear.
This is me, keeping a straight face.
This is you, trying to fill me with doubt.
This is me, telling you I don’t care.
This is you, knowing that I do.
This is me, crying myself to sleep.
This is you, feeling more alone than ever.
This is me, finally crumbling down.
This is you, not so tough after all.
This is you, trying to tear me down.
This is me, sticking my fingers in my ears.
This is you, screaming so I’ll still hear.
This is me, keeping a straight face.
This is you, trying to fill me with doubt.
This is me, telling you I don’t care.
This is you, knowing that I do.
This is me, crying myself to sleep.
This is you, feeling more alone than ever.
This is me, finally crumbling down.
This is you, not so tough after all.
