1.
I put up walls
to see who cares,
I put up walls
to protect myself,
I don't want to be taken advantage of
So I dont let anyone in
at least, not that easy
I use my mouth
as a weapon
to find love
cause if they loved me, they would stay
I know my dad is getting tired of this act
And my sister wants to be given away
But shouldn't I be happy??
I behave the way I do,
not to push people away
cause deep down
I do want to get married
but for love, not my father's money
2.
Then this guy came into town
asking for my hand
I knew he could be the one, but
He has to go through the challenge
He seemed okay
so much that he drives me insane
He made everything I said so beautiful
the way he talked
the way he moved
made me believe the search was finally over
Then he announced the wedding
I didn't agree to
I knew I had to say something
even though I wanted it to come true
3.
The day was finally here
I wore my mother's jewellery
the one she wore to her wedding
I walked down the aisle
stood there for hours
waiting on a man
who might not come
to a wedding HE planned
My feet were getting sore
My heart was pounding faster than before
my eyes wondering
Where could he be?
Why would he do this to me?
This can not get any worse
He showed up at the wedding
When everyone was about to leave
I felt embarrassed
just be looking at him
He had the heart to come dressed
like someone who had nothing
There was no way I was going to marry him
im not giving up my fairytale wedding
But I realised what he said was true...
"im marrying the man
not the suit".
4.
Everything was going as planned
until I found out he owned a taming school
where he turned shrews into housewives
The methods he used were so cruel
not feeding me,
not allowing me to sleep
treating me like an animal
Is that all im worth??
Is that all I am to you??
im not a shew, you know
I just acted like one
to find love
so theres no reason for you to
try and tame
I tried to prove myself to him
But everything I do
he seem not to notice
That I did it out of love
not by his methods
I see how he tries to control everything I do
and brags to his friends about
my obedience,
My allowing him to do as he wishes
My coming at his every command
Not questioning his decisions
I just want him to know that
im not playing the role of a "shrew" anymore
I have ALWAYS been tamed.
