You send your poison words my way Slander me with the things that you say Your pointed words are not misunderstood I just won't be a victim when you're out for blood I know you don't respect me I'm not blind to your distaste But I respect myself and that's something that you cannot change You always feed off our every mistake As though you've never made a bad choice in your life You always feed off our every mistake Talk behind my back, I feel no shame You would rather grind your heel In the face of the broken and abused Push them further in the dirt Just to prove your self-worth I'm not a picture perfect man I won't pretend I've never screwed up before But I believe in honor I will take the weak by the hand I will not be shamed! I guess Grace is something That only you can receive 'cause you've taken condemnation And made it our disease But I won't bow before your hate Won't change my life to earn respect Not afraid to speak my mind I'm not ashamed of who I am I know you don't respect me I'm not blind to your distaste But I respect myself and that's something that you cannot change I will not be shamed
