I'll do anything to prove a point
I want to hear the words
And I want to hear "you" say them
I'd put myself through misery
Just to prove that I am stable
I'd pit myself in a boxing ring
And I'd kill myself to win
If that is what it takes
For you to be proud of me again
I'd climb the highest mountain
To prove that I am strong
I'd run the longest mile
Just to show you that you're wrong
I've got determination
I've got a hardened will
But I need you to believe me
When I say that I won't quit
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
Not what you wanted me to be
I'm sorry that I'm broken
Hell, I'm sorry that I'm weak
And now I'm on a mission, to force you all to see
If takes a hundred years, I wont stop til' I succeed
I'll spar all night long
To prove I can take a hit
I'll come out black and blue, with blood upon my lip
I'll take broken ribs and a cut across my eye
I'll suck in all the pain
Because my spirit will not die
If I'm knocked unto the ground
I'll get back onto my feet
All of this to show you
That I'm no longer weak
All of this to hear the words: That you are proud of me
