"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the disclaimer!"(The Offspring) The year was again '06, and the month was again December. By now I have written so many songs in just a span of less than 2 weeks, and looking back at some of the more hateful ones I realized that they could be read as me just being sore about this whole ordeal, when really the words hold much more meaning than that. I wondered if she had ever read my songs, I know that she would have just looked past the words and figured that it was just another one of her ex-boyfriends being angry about what she doesn't find as that big a deal. Through out our relationship I had small tastes of who she really was, but I turned a blind eye and tried to defend her honor in explaining to people that she was really not that way. Apparently she was and made no effort to change that, so now that she has broken up with me, I retire from that struggle. I found that I was simply defending a lost dream that perhaps she would be the one. The one who would prove to me that the world is in better shape than I had previously conceived, but alas, she only served to further that belief. This song also serves to reference how she would always make me feel like I was wrong all the time, when really I was mostly right. Overall I like the way that this song came out, and I really like the fallen warrior reference as well. It is a tad bit on the shorter side, but that can always be changed with some repetitiveness. This song also had some profanity in it, but again it has been edited out.

Some people think that I may be sick,
That I may have changed because of this.
I just want to say that they are all wrong,
It’s just how I heal, through poem and song.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong,
And please hear this song,
I was right all along,
You’re weak, and I’m strong
This is not to say that my words are not true,
By now you should know, I cannot lie to you.
So don’t just take these words as my spite,
All of them hold value, all of them are right.
You said I was wrong so many times before,
Accepting that lie became my personal chore.
I want you to know,
Although it may not seem so,
I am more than fine,
You’ll find out how in time
So, Don’t tell me I’m wrong,
And please hear this song,
I was right all along,
You’re weak, and I’m strong
But now I can see that it was you who was wrong,
My premonitions unfolded, I was right all along.
I tried to defend you and your honor at stake,
But now I have come to learn that it was all fake.
So battered and bruised I withdraw from this war,
Now a changed man, I collapse to the floor.
Don’t tell me I’m wrong,
And please hear this song,
I was right all along,
You’re weak, and I’m strong
