Get Up
Lyrics by: Sara Wilson

I know what you're thinking....
ANOTHER stinkin song?!
Doesn't this girl ever shut the fuck up?!
No.
No, I don't.
I have been working on this for quite some time, and I think I finally have it how I want it to be.
However... It does come with a trigger warning.
This song is very personal. It's about my own journey of overcoming self- harm and chronic people pleasing.
Now press play on this music video and let yourself escape on this cinematic adventure that I worked incredibly hard on:
Get Up-
If I just bend a little lower
if I do a little more
maybe they will see my worth
and we can end this war
I bit my tongue until it bled
I gave them all my light
If I could be somebody better
I know they'd treat me right
🥀
Stand up, Bitch, and wipe your tears
put down that heavy load
you're bleeding out to pave a path for what?
Do you even know?
No one is coming in this hole
to rescue you from pain
So, I have come to take the wheel
just unleash me from my chain
🥀
They're leaving you in the wreckage
threw you into the line of fire
they're watching you burn alive
to feed their hearts desire
No one's coming to save you.
No one's fixing the break.
So, I'm taking back every single piece
that they tried to take
🥀
Look at you just letting yourself fall
but I'm here...
I'm ready to save us from it all
🥀
No, please. They will call me selfish
they'll say that I am cold
can't you make them learn to love
the pieces that they hold?
I can still get their acceptance
if I sacrifice my voice
I'll drain myself to give them peace
I don't have a choice
🥀
You had a choice but it was stolen
while you tried to please
You can't pray for dignity
while begging on your knees
They kicked you when you offered help
degraded you for years
while you were sacrificing yourself
drowning in your fears
🥀
Get up out of the wreckage
Get out of the line of fire
no more burning alive
just to feed their desire
No one's coming to save you.
No one's fixing the break.
So, I'm taking back every single piece
that they tried to take
🥀
I refuse to watch you let yourself fall
Get up off your ass
stop pretending you're small
🥀
I'm just so tired of the fighting
tired of the blows
I'm just so tired of the fighting
tired of the blows
🥀
Then hand the pen to me, my girl
and watch how fury flows
I am the one who'll rise against the one's
who watched you burn
The one who'll speak the truth out loud
Trust me. It's my turn
🥀
Will you protect me from their words?
Can you save me from it all?
🥀
I'll build a fortress out of iron
I will never let you fall
I will not take their shit again
I will not let you bleed
I am the fire in your bones
the hero that you need
🥀
I pulled myself from the wreckage
out of the line of fire
no more burning alive
no longer stuck in their pyre
No one came to save me.
No one fixed the break.
I took back every single piece
that they tried to take
🥀
I'll never trip again
never stumble or fall
I had to learn to save myself
from it all
🥀
Is it really over?
🥀
It's over. Drop the shield.
🥀
I don't have to bite my tongue anymore.
🥀
Never again.
🥀
I saved myself from it all
