You don't have to take me under
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
You don't have to take me under, yeah
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
I did what I did just to survive
I know there's rainbows on the other side
So many highs, so many lows
Feeling the pressure, system overload, yeah
Taking my time, clearing my head
Finding the way back to me again
I'm free from the hurt, no worries, no stress
Clearing my conscience, let the rumors rest
You don't have to take me under
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
You don't have to take me under, yeah
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
No time to look back when I'm moving ahead
Gotta keep marching 'til the music ends
So this is my moment to strengthen my pride
You couldn't break me, no matter how you tried
Taking my time, clearing my head
Finding the way back to me again
I'm free from the hurt, no worries, no stress
Clearing my conscience, let the rumors rest
You don't have to take me under
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
You don't have to take me under, yeah
You don't have to say words that cut like a knife
You don't ever have to wonder
Your hurtful words will never break my stride
