When did my world come falling down?
When did the earth come crumbling around me?

When did I fall and hit the ground?
Why was there no one there to catch me,
As I fell

And there's no one there to tell me it's all right
That I'm allowed to cry
That even though I'm dying inside
It's not like I'll die
From the pain
Or will I?

I said no
I won't stand this pain
I won't let you in again
I'm stronger than you think

So c'mon c'mon and try to break me down

Wrap this through your head
I'm not affected by what you said
So just stand there or sit down
'Cause I'm flying off this ground

When did my world get so much brighter?
I finally believe in myself
When did the ground turn to solid stone beneath me
And the dust get brushed off me when I was on the shelf

Now I'm standing so much taller
Now look up at me instead of looking down
At the person you thought I'd be
The person that was never really me
