I never thought I would become The kind of girl I hated The type of girl who would derive happiness solely from a man The type of girl who would change herself wholly for a man Put a man before herself Love a man more than herself But here I am I've been led through hell and back Become the girl I hate for the man that I love And look where it got me Now I remember why I wanted to be different From all those other girls Why I wanted to be stronger More independent Because every time I give myself to someone They convince me that I should never do it again
