I wrote this a few years ago based on a Toastmaster speech I heard. The lady who delivered this speech was adamant that she was not going to let anyone put her down. She was going to be the success she knew she could be. I hope you enjoy.
Watch Me
Verse 1
When you left you said I’d never make it all alone and didn’t think twice and leaving me on my own.
You led me to believe that I couldn’t make it without you, and didn’t care what happened when you said we were through
But then I realized I am made of stronger stuff. You think that I won’t make it when the times get tough?
Chorus
Watch me, as I get over you. Watch me, as I do something new.
You stand there and doubt me, but you will see. I won’t let you dictate what my life will be. Watch me.
Verse 2
You told me I was hopeless, that we just didn’t fit, that I would never find someone to put up with all of it.
You went out of your way to tear my heart in two. You thought when you left I wouldn’t know what to do.
I finally realized the only thing wrong with me was you. I have wasted so much time, I have so much to do.
Chorus
Watch me, as I get over you. Watch me, as I do something new.
You stand there and doubt me, but you will see. I won’t let you dictate what my life will be. Watch me.
You will never bring me down again.
