I’ve been caged by you for such a long long time
You had your own particular way to fill my mind
With low esteem,
regarding myself
So I kept me hidden
within my shell
And it took so long
for me to see
How demolishing
you were to me

Look at me now I’m stronger than before
Cause I found the strength within myself
to close the door
And I closed the door for you to ever come inside again
I’ve tried so hard to keep me sheltered from your kind of men

I’ve been blind and foolish but I was just a girl
You seduced me with your lies and promissed me the world
Now I’ve had it with you
and your twisted games
And no longer will you
make me feel so ashamed
I have found the power
to open the cage
I left you behind me
I turned the page

Look at me now I’m stronger than before
’cause I found the strength within myself
to close the door
and I closed the door for you to ever come inside again
I’ve tried so hard to keep me sheltered from your kind of men

Some time ago I walked away
You tought I’d never be the same
I recovered on my own
Without you now I’ll cary on
