Lioness

(Like a lioness)

I was weak when you found me
Isolated in a cloud of grief
You reviled in my insecurities
Used them as weapons against me

Now the innocent are taking sides
And I'm searching for shadows in their spotlight
But somethin' in me wants to stay and fight
Cause good girls don't exist in the wounded's mind

I see the flames getting higher I'm more than a survivor
Your reign is ending now so get my name out of your mouth

You can tear my heart limb from limb
Knock me down so hard time and time again
You can keep me small just like you wanted it
But I come back stronger like a lioness

Bitterness is salt in a wound so revenge will never be my move
But for every time your soul grew colder you'll be looking over your shoulder

I see the flames getting higher I'm more than a survivor (survivor, survivor)
Your reign has ended now so get my name out of your mouth

You can tear my heart limb from limb
Knock me down so hard time and time again
You can keep me small just like you wanted it
But I come back stronger like a lioness
You can break my spirit with your lifeless eyes
Prey on the innocence of my mind
You can keep me small just like you wanted it
But I come back stronger like a lioness

I wear my scars as battle wounds
So don't think I'm not keeping score
With every shot I'm more bulletproof
And that's when I found my roar

You can tear my heart limb from limb
Knock me down so hard time and time again
You can keep me small just like you wanted it
But I come back stronger like a lioness
You can break my spirit with your lifeless eyes
Prey on the innocence of my mind
You can keep me small just like you wanted it
But I come back stronger like a lioness

Loyal, invincible (I come back stronger like a lioness)
Openhearted, noble (I come back stronger like a lioness)
Empowered and strong (I come back stronger like a lioness)
A survivor after it all (I come back stronger like a lioness)
