They Hurt You, But They’ll Never Hurt You Again.

they hurt you didn't they real bad I can see it in your eyes empty broken like someone reached into your chest and ripped out your heart piece by piece H people are good at that you know making you believe they care that they're there for you they hold out their hands offer you their friendship love loyalty but in the end they screw you over and they do it with a smile like it's just another day and you you took it you let them stab you again and again you let them walk all over you because

you thought maybe just maybe maybe they didn't mean it maybe they'd change maybe you'd get that apology that Redemption that moment when they finally wake up and realize they hurt you guess what they never will they won't wake up they won't see what they did to you and even if they did they wouldn't care but you you you care don't you deep down it burns it eats at you makes you question who you are why you're never enough and here's the kicker you think it's your fault yeah I know that feeling I know what it's

like to be the punchline of someone else's joke to be nothing but a toy in someone's sick little game but here's where we draw the line they hurt you but they'll never hurt you again you want to know why because from now on you're the one who decides who gets close who gets a piece of you not them not anyone else you're done playing the victim done letting them twist the knife you take that pain that anger and you turn it into something powerful you see pain real pain is a gift it's not something to

shy away from no pain is Clarity pain is a reminder of what they did to you and what you will never never let them do again you see the thing about people is they love to play innocent they love to act like they didn't know what they were doing like all the hurt they caused was just some big misunderstanding but you know better now don't you yeah you see the truth they knew they always knew every Every Lie every betrayal every time they looked you in the eyes and told you things were fine they knew

exactly what they were doing and you let them get away with it you gave them the benefit of the doubt because that's what you've been trained to do your whole life be nice be patient be forgiving huh but where did that get you nowhere it's time to stop pretending to stop playing by their rules you ever wonder why they keep coming back why the same people who hurt you are always lurking around the corner ready to take another shot it's because they know you're soft yeah you act tough put on a good front but deep

de down they know they've got you wrapped around their little finger they can feel it the doubt the second guessing every time you hesitate every time you wonder if you're overreacting that's where they sink their teeth in they know you'll give them another chance that you'll let them off the hook because you're too busy worrying about being the bigger person h the bigger person gets crushed under the weight of their own damn kindness It's time to stop being that person you've got to understand something in this world nobody's going to hand you anything nobody's going

to look out for you everyone's too busy taking care of themselves you're either the one doing the hurting or you're the one getting hurt and I know you've been told that's not how it works that life's not some dog eat dog world but it is it always has been the difference now is that you know it you're done pretending there's good in everyone some people they're just poison they'll drain you break you and when they're done they'll move on to the next victim never looking back but you you're not a victim anymore you've been through

the fire and from here on out you do the choosing you decide who gets close who gets a piece of you and trust me not many will deserve it the hardest part letting go of the idea that they'll ever care they won't they didn't care when they lied to you they didn't care when they used you they didn't care when they left you broken that's the reality and you have to let that sink in you have to stop looking for closure for some Grand apology that's never coming you have to stop waiting for them to

admit they were wrong they won't they're too busy living their lives too busy moving on like you never even mattered but you you've got to take all that pain and make it mean something you've got to turn it into a shield into armor so thick that nothing they say or do can touch you anymore [Music] the best part they'll never see it coming they think they've got you figured out that you're always going to be the one waiting by the phone hoping for that apology hoping for them to make things right but when they come

back and trust me they always come back you won't be there you'll be long gone you'll have moved on not in the way they expect but in a way that makes you Untouchable you'll be stronger colder smarter and that that'll haunt them because in the end the real power isn't in Revenge it's in knowing that you've become something they can't hurt anymore something they can never touch again and that that's what makes you un stoppable I know what you're thinking but Joker what do I do with all this anger you use it you don't drown

in it you don't let It Crush you no no no you make it your fuel every time you remember what they did you get a little stronger you get a little more dangerous you stop waiting for someone to save you because no one's coming no one ever does you stop expecting the world to be fair because it's not fairness is a fairy tale for suckers you've been hurt more than once and each time you let it knock you down each time you crawled back to them hoping they'd change but they didn't did they they never

do they just keep taking and you know why because you let them you made yourself easy to hurt yeah I said it you were weak and they knew it they smelled it on you like blood in the water and they tore you apart without a second thought but you you're not weak anymore are you no no you've been through the fire you've been burned scarred left for dead and now now you're something else you're not the victim anymore you're the one in control you're the one who decides who gets close who gets to see that

heart of yours you've got a wall around it now don't you built it Brick by Brick every betrayal every lie just another Stone in the Fortress good you need that wall you deserve that wall it's what keeps the Wolves Out and trust me there are always wolves people who smile in your face Pat you on the back but the second you turn around they're sharpening the knives they're out there right now waiting for you to let your guard down but you won't not anymore you're done with the games done being the nice guy the one

who forgives and forgets nah that version of you dead and buried you've got something now that they can never take from you strength the kind that comes from being broken from being torn apart and still getting back up that's power real power and they'll never understand it because they've never been where you've been they've never felt the kind of pain you've felt that's why they'll never see you coming you with your scar stars and your broken heart you're the most dangerous person in the room now because you've got nothing left to lose you're at a

Crossroads now right this is where it all changes this is where you decide who you're going to be are you going to keep being that person they can hurt the one who keeps holding on to Hope waiting for the World to Change waiting for them to wake up and realize what they did to you or are you going to take that knife they left in your back and use it to carve out your own path it's not about revenge no that's too easy they're not worth your energy not worth another second of your time Revenge

keeps you chained to them keeps you focused on their actions and you you're bigger than that now you're smarter you've tasted the bottom felt the weight of betrayal and now it's time to rise not because they deserve your forgiveness but because you deserve ve your freedom you see the real power comes when you realize that their actions don't Define you they don't own you you've given them enough of your mind enough of your heart but that's over now you get to decide who you are from this point forward the pain they cause yeah it's real

and it's always going to be a part of your story but it doesn't have to be the whole story you're not the broken person they left behind anymore you're the Survivor the one who walked through the fire and came out the other side and from here on out it's not about proving anything to them they don't even matter it's it's about proving something to yourself the people who hurt you they're going to keep living their lives like nothing happened they'll keep smiling keep pretending like they're the heroes of their own story but the truth is

they're stuck stuck in their own cycle of lies of betrayal of taking and taking until there's nothing left but you you've broken free from all of that you're not tied to their version of reality anymore and that scares them because deep down they know they can't control you they can't manipulate you they can't drag you back into their little games you've built your wall fortified your mind and now you stand alone not not in isolation but in strength so here's the truth they hurt you but they'll never hurt you again not because they've changed but

because you have you've taken everything they threw at you and turned it into something they can't touch you've become the version of yourself they never saw coming and that that's the real power not Vengeance not anger but peace the kind of peace that comes when you realize they have no hold on you anymore the kind of peace that comes when you stop waiting for justice and create your own it's a funny thing isn't it the moment you stop giving them power they lose all of it and that's the moment you win not with a bang

not with a shout but with silence the Silence of knowing they can't reach you anymore The Silence of walking away head held high knowing that you're finally free let them try to hurt you again let them try but this time you'll be ready you'll see it coming a mile away you've learned the game you've learned what it takes to survive and when they come for you when they try to sink their claws into you again you'll smile because this time you hold the power this time you decide who gets hurt and it won't be you

they hurt you but they'll never hurt you again that chapter is over and the new you oh they're not ready for that they're not ready for the version of you that walks away from the ashes stronger than ever with Nothing Left to Fear they can't hurt you anymore because now you know the truth the only person who can hurt you now is you and you're done letting that happen the [Music]
