Lyrics
What happened to me? I had so much potential
Everyone was sure that I would do something great
Next thing I knew, I was caught up with you
One thing led to another and now it's getting late, c'mon
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I can't depend on you
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I know this much is true
I don't mean to come down hard on you
I know you only wanted to help with everything you give
But I am cynical, even of the best intentions
There's no free gifts in life, so let me start to live my way
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I can't depend on you
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I know this much is true
I am kicking ass and raising hell
You will wish that you were saved by the bell
Watch me flexing all my reborn strength
To escape me, you would go any length
Listen, honey,
I hope that you don't take this the wrong way
Okay
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I can't depend on you
I got to stand up
I got to stand up
I know this much is true
I've got to stand up
I got to stand up
I can't depend on you
I've got to stand up
I got to stand up
I know this much is true
