Right to Stand Tall

Lyrics

Verse 2]
Nothing you say can excuse the night,
Picking a fight, turning wrong to right.
Left me alone when danger was near,
Laughing it off, no trace of fear.
Nothing you do to shut me down,
Can change the way you let me drown.

[Refrain]
Not a narcissist, you say?
Tough guy lines, same old play.
Joking with threats like it’s all okay,
As if your lies just fade away.

[Chorus]
You don’t get to twist the truth,
You don’t get to stand tall and aloof.
You don’t get to disrespect,
You don’t get to wrong me when I’m right—
There’s more than one way to end this fight.

[Bridge]
Nothing I say today could make them see,
The way you twist it, casting blame on me.
Your childish laughter as I suffered quick,
Shifting the blame is your favorite trick.
I gave you chances to own your crime,
But you’d rather hide and waste my time.

[Outro]
There’s nothing you could say or do,
To make all that hurt feel brand new.
Too late to pretend you tried,
Too late to cover up the lies.
I gave you chances, every last one—
Now all I’ve got is this song, and I’m done.
