I can take it. I can stand it. I'll be fine.

Go ahead. Yell and punch and throw...
I can take it. I can stand it. I'll be fine.
Go ahead. Slice and tear and rip...
I'll listen closely to the sound of you
Ripping me from the inside... go ahead.
I can take it. I can stand it. I'll be fine.
You taught me a valuable lesson though..
That you like the girls that rip you up,
You like their nails in your throat...
Their words hammered in your soul.
You taught me that I wasn't allowed
To tell you the truth about yourself..
Because when I tried to speak my mind
You tore me down and ripped me up.
I can take it. I can stand it. I'll be fine.
You taught me more than anything that
I should listen to you when you cry
But keep my mouth shut when I'm hurt.
I can take it. I can stand it. I'll be fine.
You pushed me out for good this time,
And ripped the chord around our souls..
For now I'm fine, I can take it but will not stand
To hear another night of you sharpening your knives.
