We've kept our secrets
For far too long
We've let you win
For far too long
It happened in high school
"Friends" grabbing me from behind
"You've matured faster than the other girls"
It happened in college
Pushed me against a wall
"Don't you want a kiss?"
It happened in college
Cornered me in a room
I escaped to a bathroom
"You're seriously over reacting!"
It happened in college
"My friends have a blunt upstairs!"
No one else showed up
He ripped my shirt
It happened after college
Dancing at a bar
Started feeling me up, moving under my clothes
Was able to hold me there in the chaos
"We were just dancing!"
My father warned me
My father gave me pepper spray
My father taught me how to fight back
It still happened
My guy friends tried to protect me
My guy friends stuck up for me and other girls
My guy friends went with us to parties and random houses
It still happened
Ladies, stay strong
We will not go backward
Only forward
