The worst is over, the pain is gone   Christ has healed me, but your tongue is strong   How can I just stand here   And let you just walk all over me      I've come too far now, to turn around   My bones are breaking', but you love the sound   Why whisper you hate me   Your silent war seems loud enough to scream      I never thought you'd hurt me   I never thought I'd bleed   I never thought you'd do this to me   Try to understand this   Try to be my friend   And love me with the love that never ends      Bound by insult and told to change      Accept the difference, ‘cuz I'm not the same   How can I just stand here   And let you just walk all over me      This time . . . my mind . . . won't die
