i am strong again

 

when soap gets in your eyes

can you feel more clearly

the pain you caused

when you were near me

 

I've said it before

ill say it again

you're the reason

its still hard for me 

to be close to a man 

 

did it give you pleasure 

to hold me down and call me fat

i was your wife

what kind of man would

do that

 

I was weak for a time

i am strong again

 

I wish I could save everyone from

your haze

i have to strive for all women

better days 

 

i was weak for a time

but i am strong again
