Description
I know you're watching
and I know why.
The silent drama of it all
makes me sigh.

Everything is a competition
in your head...
If you're not the better one
you'd rather be dead.

How did you get so insecure?
How did you get so sour?
--Oh, that's right--
You let yourself be ruled by a man,
and gave up all your power.

Now your jealousy eats you,
it tears apart
the one thing about you that could have been great
-your compassionate heart.

I know why you watch me,
it's not hard to see.
I'm stronger than you, smarter..
better than you'll ever be.

I'll never be a prisoner
in my own home
I am free to go anywhere,
even alone.

I will never subject my children to mistreatment,
to a life of gloom.
My children are too precious for that,
I want them to bloom.

I will never be a doormat for
a man who treats me like dirt.
I would never let him think it's all better
when I was still deeply hurt.

So watch, dear, misguided girl,
and see how it's done.
Maybe you'll learn to let go of the sickness
to be strong, lay down for none..
