Stand Up For Myself
Army of Lovers Lyrics

I have had my share of pain
I've experienced enough pain in our relationship

Staying here makes me insane
Continuing this relationship is driving me crazy

All the nights that I've been through
I've spent countless nights thinking about how to move on

Thinking how get over you
Trying to find a way to move on from you

Here's the end to all your lies
I'm no longer tolerating your dishonesty

You're a hypocrite, goodbye
I see through your fake behavior and I'm leaving you

I no longer need your help
I'm capable of taking care of myself without your support

I can stand up for myself
I'm strong enough to defend myself and make my own decisions

I've got a life to live
I have my own aspirations and goals to achieve

I've got to give myself a chance
I need to take chances and make decisions that benefit me

I'm leaving you behind today
I'm finally breaking away from this toxic relationship

You were always full of greed
Your focus was always on materialistic things

You supplied the luxury
You tried to impress me with your wealth

But this heart was not impressed
I'm not moved by superficial things

I'll be happy left with less
I'll be content with modest things in life

I'll be fine out on my own
I can navigate my life independently

I can face the world alone
I can handle any challenge that comes my way

Once a trophy on the shelf
You used to see me as an object of your possession

Now I stand up for myself
Now I have self-respect and self-worth

You can beg and crawl the floor
Your apologies won't change my mind

I'm still walking out that door
I'm determined to move on and leave you behind

It's pathetic how you try
Your attempts to win me back are pitiful

Makes me laugh to see you cry
Your tears don't move me anymore

Here's the boy that you deceived
You took advantage of someone's trust and vulnerability

See him pack his bags and leave
He's finally moving on from your deception

You're so conservative
You have narrow-minded views and beliefs

You pride yourself with tolerance
You think of yourself as an open-minded person

Still can't accept I walk away
You can't handle the fact that I'm leaving you

Don't you dare to cause a scene
Don't try to make a scene or create drama

All those quarrels are routine
Our fights have become predictable and mundane

I'm as happy as could be
I'm finally free and feel content

I have walked away I'm free
I finally left and it feels great

I can, I can, I can stand for myself
I'm capable of handling things on my own and standing up for myself

(I can stand up for myself)
I have the strength and confidence to defend myself
