Draw on Inner Strength [Verse 1] When you’re verbally or emotionally attacked By someone you trusted Someone you loved At first You try to understand To make things right Even when it isn’t all your fault You’re willing to carry the blame Just to save the relationship You leave room For honesty For discussion For healing But all you find Is bitterness And words that cut And emotional harm that repeats ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Broken promises Discarded dreams A life that left them disappointed And somehow All of that pain Gets directed at you Not because it’s all your fault But because you’ve always been there To absorb it ⸻ [Chorus] So draw On your inner strength Even with A breaking heart Protect yourself See reality It’s okay To step away I’m kind I’m loving I’m caring still But I won’t keep chasing Something That has turned into Verbal harm And emotional attack ⸻ [Verse 2] I know I care I know I love I’m willing to apologize To show up To listen But I can see What’s happening now That cruel words Will keep coming That emotional attacks Will keep repeating That I’ll be expected To stay silent Take the hurt And return nothing Not anymore I have withstood so many storms Been knocked down Injured Stood again Braced myself, remained No more! No more! ⸻ [Bridge] I can love you Without losing myself I can wish you healing Without accepting abuse I’ll leave the door open For kindness But I won’t stand In the storm Waiting to be struck again By anger or hate ⸻ [Final Chorus] So I draw On the strength inside me I choose peace Over endless pain I know my worth I know my heart I’m resilient I have fortitude My kindness remains But I will draw on my inner strength To stay kind To still care But I will not put myself In a position To accept your anger Or your hate And that is not giving up That is protecting myself That is choosing my peace
