Standing on the Rock

Intro

Verse 1
Did you expect that I would sit and stare at my phone?
I figured out that I do better being alone
You left my cardboard boxes out in front of the street
Now I am moving steady on my own solid feet
You had a habit of enjoying making me spin
Count up the damage and convince yourself you can win
I cleared the debit card and gathered every last check
You set your money on the hope that I was a wreck

Hook
Where am I while you pace around the block?
Look at me standing firmly on the rock
Did you think I would never see it clear?
There is no way that I am staying here

Verse 2
I dragged the stained-up mattress out from under the bed
I threw out every dirty story kept in my head
You talk to all your buddies trying to ruin my name
Nobody listens when you make a fool of the game
I watched the heavy plaster from the ceiling tile drop
There is not anything you carry making me stop
I sweep the broken glass and bottle caps off the floor
I took the deadbolt and I locked you out of the door

Hook
Where am I while you pace around the block?
Look at me standing firmly on the rock
Did you think I would never see it clear?
There is no way that I am staying here

Verse 3
You asked my brother if I managed staying on track
Tell him whatever makes you feel like I will be back
You pushed my patience till you pushed me over the line
I took a breath and realized that I am doing fine
I do not need another excuse making you stay
Pack up your luggage and remove yourself from my way
You are another bitter lesson lost in the past
You heard the final words I had and that was the last

Hook
Where am I while you pace around the block?
Look at me standing firmly on the rock
Did you think I would never see it clear?
There is no way that I am staying here

Outro
Are you looking up at me in shock?
I am still standing tall upon the rock
