"Still I Rise"


Don’t leave me alone

I can’t be alone with someone I no longer know

My smile is a no show

I cry while you’re next to me

I can only hear when they speak to me

They tell me your gonna run away

So I gave you a ball and chain

Now you’ll have to crawl away

Banging my head against the wall

I gave my all, but it's not enough

I know I did this to myself

But you keep me on your shelf

These voices are getting far too loud

I can only hear when they speak to me 

They tell me your gonna run away

So I gave you a ball and chain 

Now you’ll have to crawl away

Trying to see the future through a crystal ball

You wouldn’t want me even if I was the fairest of them all

They are the only ones who’ve caught my fall

Slowly you’ll miss me babe

I can only hear when they speak to me

They tell me your gonna run away

So I gave you a ball and chain

Now you’ll have to crawl away

Crawl away

Crawl

Crawl away

Crawl

Yea I’ll watch you crawl away
