Holding captive her tears

Making her age beyond her years

Taking her voice so she can’t sing

Tying her down and clipping her wings

There’s so much more she could be

If you’d just let her see

That you evoke her pain

Make her live her life as if she’s ashamed

To let her lungs take in air

And you don’t even care

That you’re breaking her

When you’re making her

Smile for you

And pretend it’s alright

That you stole her light

And you’re killing her
