I’m a force to be reckoned with
Maybe you didn’t know
I’m not afraid of what you think of me anymore
You twist my words
You guide my hand
I still accidentally
Found out where i stand
I know what i want
I know what’s good for me
I know they’re not necessarily
The same thing
But i will choose which way i go
A big girl at least knows how to say no
I won’t be a victim
Of anybody but myself
I never needed
Any of your help
So take your sympathies
And move ‘em on down the line
I’m not innocent enough
To feel guilty this time
You want me to feel things
That don’t need to be felt
So i’m keeping my hands and my heart
To myself
I think i’m strong
I think i can take you
I think i’ll just go home
Cuz i don’t want to
I can fuck it up
With the best of ‘em
But that ain’t you
And that’s the problem
If you get down on tearful knee to make me stay
Well, you can just suck it
While you’re down there.
I won’t be a victim
Of anybody but myself
I never needed
Any of your help
So take your sympathies
And move ‘em on down the line
I’m not innocent enough
To feel guilty this time
I won’t be a victim
Of anybody but myself
I never needed
Any of your help
So take your sympathies
And move ‘em on down the line
I’m not innocent
This time
