Press Play

You've hurt me for the last time
My soul will eventually return
I won't let my past define my future
For now,
I'll let you think you've won
You can believe that my spirit is broken
Go on and think that I've been broken and defeated
But right below the surface,
Something says to me that I'll find my own way
Daddy don't you see that you can't hurt me anymore?
Strike me down with fists,
Shoot me down with words
But my will to prevail will pick me up,
Time and time again
You've made it clear that your heart has been turned stone cold,
I refuse to be led down that road
Since the beginning of my existance,
You've ruled my world
Keeping me in the dark,
You forced me to believe that I'd never amount to anything
I know now that this isn't true
For so long I let fear keep my life on pause,
But day by day,
I'm finding the courage to go and press play
