Standing Strong

I hope that the bomb won't explode
I'm trying to resist the twist in this road
There's no easy way to say "I told you so"
To someone you love

And I need a remedy
With time and its design there's no guarantee
It's a difficult task to ask for things you need
From someone you love

So I've drawn a line you shall not cross
Your audience is at a loss
Don't tell me I'm a worthless cause
I'm standing strong

And I must admit that I'm a bit trapped
I've avoided the scars so far by making you laugh
It's a delicate place to face the demons you have
With someone you love

So I've drawn a line you shall not cross
Your audience is at a loss
Don't tell me I'm a worthless cause
I'm standing strong

So loosen your grip on the chip on your shoulder
It's getting heavier as you've gotten older
And I'm gonna stand my ground
If you keep letting it way you down

So I've drawn a line you shall not cross
Your audience is at a loss
Don't tell me I'm a worthless cause
I'm standing strong

And every time you hear me sing these words
I hope they hit their mark I hope they burn
Your ears, and disappear
Like a lesson learned

I hope that the bomb won't explode
I'm trying to resist the twist in this road
There's no easy way to say "I told you so"
To someone you love
