Random Davis - Standing Tall Lyrics

My life just broke, went up in smoke
I thought I messed up, thought I had no hope
Dejected, rejected, thought life was cruel
But little did I realize, I was the fool
There's an upside to us being apart
I feel independent, ready for a new start
At first I was sad, thought I messed it up
But I had an epiphany, a stroke of luck
I didn't want that life, I'm glad it's all done
How could I be so foolish, thought you were the one?
I didn't trust my gut, didn't care, life was easy
But looking back, it was wrong, none of it pleased me
But now I'm seeing things in a whole new light
I have a new perspective, a brilliant insight
I thought it was me, who wasn't doing things right
I thought I was the cause, blamed myself for every fight
But what I realized was, I was fine all along
This realization alone has made me so much more strong
It was you who was cruel, and who broke my heart
I should've known it, seen it, right from the very start
I'm doing great for myself, I'm standing tall
I wasn't respected, you wanted me to fall
But now I'm free, broken from your spell
Free to live my life, free to live well
Now my future's bright, it's as clear as day
With each step forward, I'm finding my way
Confident, strong, I'm learning who I am
Whatever you're doing, well, I don't give a damn
I thought I'd reached the top, thought I'd hit my highest peak
But that was just a valley, it was so mild and weak
I'm scaling to new heights, where the air is fresh and sweet
I thought my life was full, but I was far from complete
I'm doing great for myself, I'm standing tall
I wasn't respected, you wanted me to fall
But now I'm free, broken from your spell
Free to live my life, not my personal hell
