Bettie The most emo girl I’ll ever know Bettie Her smile was a bright light At the Darkroom petite and sweet cute to boot
Her kind green eyes found mine Full of tears and fear mascara smeared
She took me by the hand She led me to the sound She pulled me in to dance and sing along to mad songs Played by her man and his band He planned a fallacy
We sang loud, we screamed We jumped up and down And we were okay, lost in a rare moment But we woke up with no voice Our hearts crushed, was it lust? Were we really stupid *****? Perky **** with cotton candy wits, huh?
It’s a good thing you’re so pretty Because you’ll find a man to marry As long as you keep Your mouth shut and your legs open Not too much Not too little
I wish I could take away your pain
Because it’s deep in me too #MeToo was too late for you It’s tragic it’s too late to relate kindred spirits separate No click click to get on with Left here holding the pain. They say you’re at peace I hope you are, you deserve it
It was too much and it had to stop No one would listen now there is a spot missing For you on stage We should be singing together About how we’ve had enough We should be screaming together About their gaze and graze their misogynistic Mind games that Stole our innocence and buried us in shame You should still be here Putting men in their places I say wait, my heart breaks anger rises because Another one skates away They should be gone They should live with shame But they just skate away
Why do I only relate with the ones below? Suicidal role models The world cries when it’s too late I heard your song but was too far away
