Warrior
Kenan Williams Lyrics

Your words fall out like rain from a cloud
The way you speak to me is constant and unrelenting, it feels like an endless downpour of negativity.

But they feel like stones
The words that you say weigh heavily on me, they feel like burdens that I can't shake off.

They cut me open
Your words are painful, they hurt me deeply and leave me feeling emotionally raw and exposed.

Every promise rips me apart
Whenever you make a promise, I get my hopes up, only to be let down and hurt again.

Cause in the end
Ultimately, when it comes down to it,

You're always leaving
You never stick around, you always leave me behind and make me feel abandoned.

Do you know what it feels like?
Have you ever experienced the pain and hurt that I feel?

To feel so unwanted
To feel like nobody cares about me or wants me around.

To keep thinking you deserve the pain
To believe that I somehow deserve to be treated badly and to suffer.

When you're loving someone
Even though I care about you deeply,

Who knows where your heart breaks
You don't reciprocate my feelings and I don't know where I stand with you.

And isn't gonna change
I have to accept that you'll never feel the same way about me and that things will never change.

I gotta be a warrior
I have to be strong and resilient in the face of adversity.

In my head, in my heart
I have to remain strong both emotionally and mentally.

Find my strength in these scars
I can use the lessons that I've learned from my past struggles and pain to make me stronger.

It's time to turn around
I need to leave the past behind and move forward with my life.

It's time to think of me
I need to prioritize my own well-being and happiness.

Gotta stand up and fight for what I believe
I need to be assertive and stand up for myself and what I believe in.

Every time you clawed your way back here
Every time you try to come back into my life,

I crushed myself
I let myself be hurt and put myself in a vulnerable position.

Like I was worthless
The pain you caused made me feel like I wasn't worth anything.

You used to crawl in under my skin
You used to be able to manipulate and control me so easily.

But now you don't
Now I'm stronger and more resilient, your words and actions don't have the same effect on me.

Even scratch the surface
You can't penetrate my emotional armor anymore.

And I know that I'm strong enough to make it
I have faith in myself that I'll be able to overcome any obstacle.

Nothing in the world can bring me down
I won't let any outside forces or negative people influence me or bring me down.

You can try your worst but I won't shake
Even if you try to hurt me or bring me down, I won't falter or lose my resolve.

I'll stand my ground
I'll remain steadfast and won't compromise my values or beliefs.

Gonna be a warrior
I'm committed to being strong and resilient.
