jesus christ, get off your knees
and remember what you're worth.
don't you know what you used to want?
not the shallow adoration of these boys
(they love your tongue and your teeth, baby girl
but not you)
take your hands back and tear down the wall around you heart.
don't you know what you used to be?
not the shallow plaything of these boys
(they love your tongue and your teeth, little girl
but not you)
stand up and fight for yourself -
you're more than what they say.
you forget the thoughts in your head and the
words in your heart,
let them get pushed aside along with the lace of your *******.
so you've been hurt,
haven't we all?

don't hide it behind their rock-hard excuses

jesus christ, get off your knees,
and demand what you deserve -
not the shallow breathlessness of these boys
(they love your tongue and your teeth, my girl
but not you)
and take what should be yours
(they love your tongue and your teeth, sweet girl
but not you)
and spit their lust
right back in their faces
and love for yourself
and love when you do
(not when you can)
and draw yourself up
and be your own beauty
and get off your knees
and remember.
