i'm not crying,
not anymore,
and i'm going to stay that way
you can't make me cry,
not without my consent,
not when i can stay brave
i don't need your help,
i don't need your pity,
i don't need anything from you
not if you've made me cry,
not if you've made me shy,
not if you've made my clear sky gray.

i don't need anything from you
not if you've made me cry,
not if you've made me shy,
not if you've made my clear sky gray.
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
