I Know Where I Stand

30 October 2026

Intro:

I know where I stand, I'm walking away

You talking to other guys I'm not the one for you

I know where I stand, I'm letting you go

I hope you find your happiness

Verse 1:

You'll never gonna change even your clothes are the same

Do you really think a real man will be with someone like you

I know where I stand, I can do better even more

I know where I stand, I'm better than what you think

I can't be with someone

(One day we're good and the next we're 2 strangers without a heart)

I'm better off alone in my life I can't stand the things you do

You pull me close just to push me more

I can't do this anymore I can't stand you (I'll be on my own)

Pre-chorus:

I know what I want I know where I stand

I'm closing this book I'm leaving you alone

All the chapters are burned when you will learn, when will you learn

Are you waiting till you get burned?

Chorus:

Pictures and memories I'm burning them all

You're not worth my time there's someone waiting next door

Open doors are waiting for me, I don't want your love

I'm ready to let go I know where I stand

Far away from you I’m so over you (over you)

Verse 2:

Fuck what you say forget what we had

Everybody knows you're nothing but a joke

A lonely soul will never make it on its own

You tear me down Then act like I’m the fault

Everybody knows who I really am you never going to change

Even your clothes they are all the same

You cry, you can whine it's not going to bring me back

I know where I stand, I'm getting better more each day

Bridge:

I know where I stand- I'm stronger more each day

I know who I am- loyal and caring it's who I am

I'm not looking back (you burned me so bad)

Chorus:

Pictures and memories I'm burning them all

You're not worth my time there's someone waiting next door

Open doors are waiting for me, I don't want your love

I'm ready to let go I know where I stand

Far away from you I’m so over you (over you)

Chorus:

Pictures and memories I'm burning them all

You're not worth my time there's someone waiting next door

Open doors are waiting for me, I don't want your love

I'm ready to let go I know where I stand

Far away from you I’m so over you (over you)

Outro:

Checkmate- Game over for you I don't follow rules, I am the rule

(I can't control everything I do)

Checkmate- Stop comparing me cause I know where I stand

I know who I am, I'm not playing the fool

Cause it's game over for you

A note from the lyricist

This song is about finding the strength to walk away from a relationship that no longer feels healthy or fulfilling. The narrator has reached a turning point, realizing their worth and accepting that they deserve better than the uncertainty and disappointment they've experienced. Rather than holding on to false hope, they choose to let go and move forward. The lyrics convey a mix of frustration, self-confidence, and closure. While there is disappointment in seeing that the other person has not changed,
