Survivor

So innocent at first, blessing or a curse

I did my very best

And I, as the seasons pass, try to make it last

And I watched them fall away

But a man can't be measured by the number of time, he is knocked down

It's all about what he does when he gets back up again

I'm a survivor, what d'you go and change your mind for

Your the one I'd die for, take me as I am

Don't just ignore me, no need to feel sorry for me

I don't need your pity, treat me like a man

I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... it's just me

And I have nowhere else to turn

I thought I had to learn a new way to your heart

And oh, I tried everything I could

I fought hard for where I stood

But it sure tore me apart, oh

But a man can't be measured by the number of time, he is knocked down

It's all about what he does when he gets back up again

I'm a survivor, what d'you go and change your mind for

Your the one I'd die for, take me as I am

Don't just ignore me, no need to feel sorry for me

I don't need your pity, treat me like a man

I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... it's just me

I have been fighting for so long

Whether it's been right or wrong, it's become a way of life

And now, after all that pain and tears, standing strong through the years

What am I to do?

I'm a survivor, what d'you go and change your mind for

Your the one I'd die for, take me as I am

I'm a survivor, what d'you go and change your mind for

Your the one I'd die for, take me as I am

Don't just ignore me, no need to feel sorry for me

I don't need your pity, treat me like a man

I'm not a shadow of who I used to be... it's just me
