If I was a child today
I'd be crying on scraped knees
with blood spilt on the floor
and tears won't cost as much
But every time I fall
I'd know better

If I was a girl to chase
All the boys would do right by me
and say pretty things
makes life a little easier
I'm a breather
and they're sold

If I was a woman to keep
All the men would hold me
dear and respect me
Walk with me until we reach
the highs and lows of
every corner of my mind
and inch closer to my dreams
as I breathe in, pulling in
seeing soul to soul

If I was a game to play
They'd sit idly by
Find any reason to escape
as they're done
toying with me
and all these emotions
I made up in my head.
