People Around Me Lyrics

People around me think I'm weak

People around me think I can't speak

People around me think I'm meek

It's time to stop giving them what they seek

I'm scared that people will leave

But is it really the worst thing

Peace of mind alone is better than a party home

At least no one will try to tear me down

Why do all the closest people say I did something wrong

How can I get up, brush myself off and move on

Always having to prove myself over and over

You are breaking me, and I'm letting you

I have trouble standing up for myself

I was taught to always shut my mouth

I trusted the wrong people with my darkest secrets

And they threw it in my face

Told me I was a disgrace

Why do all the closest people say I did something wrong

How can I get up, brush myself off and move on

Always having to prove myself over and over

You are breaking me, and I'm letting you

I'm no longer taking this abuse

Now it's time that I blow up the fuse

I will not keep feeding your self-esteem

Time to respect me, I need to respect me

Why do all the closest people say I did something wrong

How can I get up, brush myself off and move on

Always having to prove myself over and over

You are breaking me, and I'm letting you

You are breaking me and I'm letting you, go
