Lyrics
I'm the anvil you pound on to make your knife of steel
Seems you never stop finding subtle ways to abuse
I'm even the plow blade you use to rip apart my field
Some would say it's my own fault because of what I choose
Yes, I chose you when you chose me
But little of the danger did I see
How did you blind me with shallow words of love
And better still, how can I find what's left of me
CHORUS
I'm gonna turn that anvil on you before your eyes
Hardening my heart with a billowing of heat
I'm gonna pound the pain away with the beating of my blood
No more, no more will you be the cause of my defeat
No, no ...
CHORUS
You seem surprised that I'm gonna take a stand
Did you really think I'd ignore the pain for so long
I really don't care now what you even think
Except for you to realize that I'm the one who's strong
CHORUS
