Your heavy hateful gaze places All the weight and blame right on my shoulders Meant to bring me down to the ground and shiver While the room gets colder and colder You thought it worked out all so well (You thought you sent me down to hell) You thought it worked out all so well But know that I'm not dead yet No, I'm not dead yet And how the mighty mock the weak I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep And I swear, I will be free Never again, rule over me Well, you can try to bring me down to a place Where I feel guilty, lost, and lonely I won't let that happen, now You can try your best, but I won't let you break me I should have seen the signs were there But I could never be prepared I should have seen the signs were there But I wouldn't accept it, I was scared No, I'm not dead yet And how the mighty mock the weak I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep And I swear, I will be free Never again, rule over me Well, I'm not scared! I'll make it through, somehow! This isn't over, now! All of my fears... I'll overcome somehow! I'll overcome somehow! And how the mighty mock the weak I'm not one of them, so here's a promise I will keep And I swear, I will be free Never again, rule over me
