Tired of your empty words
Always telling me that I'll never break free
Cause you made me think at first
I was nothing and you were better than me

Oh, but I know that you could never keep me down
Oh, you were wrong cause that was then and this is now

Take aim, come on and give it your all
These flames are only pushing me higher
Afraid because you know that I won't be tamed
And now I'm walking on fire

I can feel the embers burn
Underneath my feet and I'm ready
Cause I've grown to love the way it hurts
Different from the burn that you give me

So why don't you just go
No you could never hold me down
Oh, you were wrong cause that was then and this now
