What I did for me

After lots of chirpy, upbeat stuff coming from me and Jip, here’s some misery - oh yes, and some rapping - oh! and a little bit of swearing! Well, there wasn’t much else I could do with it.

Enjoy, as much as you can, and I’ll get back to chirpy, upbeat soon :)

You took my heart and threw it down the stairs
Right after me
You took my soul and left without a care
I could not see
What you did to me

You took my eyes and blinded me with lust
Now I can see
You took my lips and filled them with mistrust
I could not speak
And you left me weak

You can take my heart and you can throw it away
But I’m still growing stronger every day
And I don’t need you to stand by me
You’re so much weaker than I thought you’d be
You’re just a bully and I was your prey
But now I’m growing stronger every day
Stronger every day, stronger every day
Stronger every day, stronger every day
You can take your pain and your life’s disarray
‘Cos I’m not a toy for you to play with
You can’t make me blow like a chain reactor
Now I’ve found the way to my true character
Flippety you boy, I’m happier on my own
Now my life ain’t like a flippety-floppety combat zone

I took my mind and sought something profound
Something for me
I took my soul, I turned my life around
Now all can see
What I did for me
What I did for me
What I did for me

Determination perseveres leaving "misery" behind. Oh Oh . . . . Is the optimist showing through? Good song out of what sounds like a painful situation.
