Stand My Ground

Must've been about 6 years old

You told me I could be anything

Maybe I would even win the gold or rule the world

It was graduation day

You wanted me to be like you

Put your damn guitar away don't be a fool

But I don't have your fear of failing

I've gotta know I tried

I won't count down every working day until I die

When I stand my ground you laugh at me

And tell me who I'll never be

You only built me up to tear me down

You cut me deep with disbelief and razors of reality

So I'll just keep my head in the clouds

Standing my Ground

You said I swept you off your feet

With every song I sang to you

You said that you believed in me wish that were true

When we talked about a wedding date

You said my adolescent dream was through

Put your damn guitar away go back to school

But I can't live your 9 to 5

I've gotta roll the dice

I won't count down every working day until I die

When I stand my ground you laugh at me

And tell me who I'll never be

You only built me up to tear me down

You cut me deep with disbelief and razors of reality

So I'll just keep my head in the clouds

Standing my Ground

I don't want to live a life that I regret

I won't forget who I am

Don't want to say what if when I look back

I can't live like that at all oh

When I stand my ground you laugh at me

And tell me who I'll never be

You only built me up to tear me down

You cut me deep with disbelief and razors of reality

So I'll just keep my head in the clouds

Standing my Ground

Must've been about 6 years old

You told me I could be anything

Maybe I would even win the gold or rule the world
