Why don't you let me be
Leave me alone
You start a fire inside that I could never control
You want to see a reaction

Come on and cut me down
You've gone as far as I'll go
Now you're crossing the line
And I am letting you know
Well here's your reaction

Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will push you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change

You planted the seed
How my anger has grown
Got a feeling inside that I can't seem to control
You want to see a reaction

Come on and cut me down
You've gone as far as I'll go
Now you're crossing the line and I am letting you know
Well here's your reaction

Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will push you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change

Insult
After insult [Repeat: x9]

Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before I finish what you started
Face to face I will put you in your place
End this game before I finish what you started
Face to face everything will change

Walk away
Everything will change
End this game
You want to see a reaction
You want to see a reaction
Stand up
