Just a little bit older than me
Just a little bit stronger than me
I used to love you but now I see
You only stood in my sun
Talk about how I'd be dead without you
Bring the fear when I start to doubt you
Save my breath in my lungs
I know you're trying to keep me young
It's your excuse to treat me rough
But I'll prove to you I'm twice as tough
Let's see what I do
When I'm nowhere near you
Here's me laying down the law
You don't push me around no more
It ain't gonna be like the way it was before
I used to think I was something
I used to think I was but now I'm sure
I must admit I was a little bit too scared
About all the demons and the snakes out there
But what did I know?
Only what you told me was so
Beware of these and beware if those
Better shut your eyes before hold your nose
Oh little Joe you can't face the world alone
It's your excuse to treat me rough
But I'll prove to you I'm twice as tough
Let's see what I do
When I'm nowhere near you
Here's me laying down the law
You don't push me around no more
It ain't gonna be like the way it was before
I used to think I was something
I used to think I was but now I'm sure
This is my time
I'm gonna make mistakes and they'll be mine
I'm gonna make mistakes and I'll still be fine you'll see
You want to take that away from me
Tell me I can't see what I know I can see
Tell me I can't be what I know I can't be
But it's you
You fear that your best days are through
Last chance is due
Overdue
Here's me laying down the law
You don't push me around no more
It ain't gonna be like the way it was before
I used to think I was something
I used to think I was but now I'm sure
Just a little bit stronger than me
