You used to stand
for something beautiful
Now you don't stand at all

The liar told you
you were worthless
you believed and you broke
your own knees

I'm so tired
of watching you bleed
and cut your own wrists
I'm so tired
of feeling your blood
drip down on my fists

I feel your every pain
and I'd never walk away
but when you suicidally
lie to you cry to me
watching you strips
my soul away

but I'd pick you up a thousand times
and i won't have any bitterness
but i can't drag you to happiness
I can't be your victory
                      
If you want
to stand for you
to stand for me
for something meaningful
            
you have get up and fight for it
never give up on it
claw and you scratch and you
tear your way through to it

you gotta stand up

If you want to stand
for something meaningful
you'll have to use your own
two feet
