I never blamed you for hurting me
but you know that you did.
I didn't speak up
so I had to had to be curled up like a shrimp.

But what if I did talk?
What if I hurt you back?
What if I ruined your life like you did mine?
You would feel exactly the way that I did.

Well now I am not afraid, 
I am not going to be scared
I am going stand up and stand out
And speak up on the pain you put me through.
