You didn’t expect me to
But I still stood up to you
So you sent in your flying monkeys to go after me
But I stood my ground
And then the gaslighting started
But I knew I was right
No matter how much you made me feel like I was going crazy
Because I stood up to you
So everyone dug their heels in deeper
Because I stood up to you
No matter the amount of curveballs you threw at me
Because I stood up to you
Even your flying monkeys enlisted flying monkeys of their own
Because I stood up to you
It only proved your guilt
No matter the curveball
No matter the amount of gaslighting
No matter the punishment you enforced
No matter the amount of hoops you forced me to jump through
No matter the amount of abuse you threw in my direction
I still stood up to you
And I’m still standing
I can honestly look at you and have no regrets for calling you out
Because I’m still standing
Even after you kept trying to sink me
Even after you burned bridges for me
Even after you tried to drive me over the edge
Because I stood up to you
And I’m still standing
