Analysis of STANDING UP

Eyes like fire trying to hold back the tears
Chest so tight you can't take  a breath
Screaming inside but no one can hear

Many regrets cross my mind as I look at years past
So many good memories that I don't want to take back

I am damaged goods
No good for love
Pain has taken over and assumed me to the core
Left bitter inside like waking bear

How long does it last?
Am I strong enough to withstand the storm?
The pain inside hurts like a sharp and burning pain to the stomach
The breath you can't take
Eyes and throat burn like lit end of a cigarette
Choking back the tears
Can I just scream and release it in the sky?

Well I am getting off the ground and wiping away the tears
I see the truth and my mind is clear
You were not the person you say
So it is finally goodbye
I am looking up
Feeling the sun on my face
So no more I love you or I miss you, or can I come over
I don't need you anymore
Your touch is no longer a desire
Your kiss is poison and you will never taste my lips again
