Because they don’t understand
The pain of what you’re going through.
They don’t know how much
Work you put into the things you do.
Everything is a game to everyone but you,
But nobody else sees it.
No one but you.

Sometimes people say things
They don’t really mean
But today I know you meant
Every word you said.
You keep on trying to break me down
But I won’t let you.
I won’t let you win,
Won’t let you get the best of me.
Because I will rise, yeah I will.
I will rise again from the ashes.
And this time I won’t cry.

Rose up together against you,
Told you all your work meant nothing.
They keep on making up excuses
That you see right through.
They all act like they care but
No one has a clue
About what you’re going through.

They say that they’ll make things right
Even though everyone knows they won’t.
You put a smile on your face,
Try to keep out all the pain.
But one day, it will all come back.
Yes one day, it will all come back.
But I will rise, yeah I will.
I will rise again from the ashes.
And this time I won’t cry.
And this time I won’t cry.
