That Is Why I Don't Fight Back

In the past, You've asked "Why don't I fight back?"

I always say "yes" I always sit back I always let the hits hit.

I never block, I never dodge, I never even fight back.

Now, this one time, I stand tall, And fight for who I am.

Now, like last time I fought, Someone takes what I love, Someone take my life and heart,

This time, I'm all alone, Because that person's you.

I stand up for who I am, And my future is taken and destroyed. That is why I don't fight back.
