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,
And my bones are breaking, but you love the sound,
Why whisper you hate me'
'Cause 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 an insult and I'm told to change,
Just accept the difference, 'cause I'm not the same,
How can I just stand here and let you just walk all over me'

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.

This time, yeah,
My mind, oh,
Won't die, yeah.

My mind won't die,
My mind won't die,
My mind won't die,
My mind won't die.

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, yeah,
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.

My mind won't die,
My mind won't die,
I never thought you'd hurt me,
My mind won't die,
My love won't die.

Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah,
I won't let you break my mind.
