Undoing changes I started making
when I decided who I am is not good enough for
presentation to the public in the face of secondary education
all along with its shortcomings, most of which I will admit
fell on the social side of things due to all my nervous thinking
and the way I oh so desperately want to be liked
while I hide shy
past is patterned people pleasing
failed to notice I was on the outside looking in
on an image of perfection
now glass is shattered and I walk home barefoot in the rain
just so I can talk to myself
and finally ask her what the hell it is shes really like
while I hide shy
and I will fail you just you see
no I am not what you want me to be like
no I hide shy

I care too much to ask you to stay
though I'll miss your touch every day
the tide goes in and out
I can't be here right now
bloodstains and heartbreak
time is what it will take
to turn around and walk the other way
and be okay
pointing out I have a pinkish hue
you closed the door and left me deep dark blue
take pictures from their place
save them for better days
bloodstains and heartbreak
time is what it will take
to turn around and walk the other way
bloodstains and heartbreak
time is what it will take
to turn around and walk the other way
and be okay
and be okay
and be okay
and be okay

I hear a barred owl call
I'm here for you, I'm here for you
and when the mornin' comes, will the clarity too?
oh relief you know I long for you
but the breaking point seemed overdue
highs and lows oh they are normal
my highs and lows they push and they pull
at the strings that keep me mobile
in a world that frightens me so
I hear a barred owl call
I'm here for you, I'm here for you
and when the mornin' comes, will the clarity too?
oh relief you know I long for you
but the breaking point seemed overdue
and oh please tell me I'm not crazy
please tell me that you still want me
please tell me that I'm not crazy
please tell me that you still want me
even if you cant do a thing
please tell me that you still want me
I hear a barred owl call
I'm here for you, I'm here for you
and when the mornin' comes, will the clarity too?
oh relief you know I long for you
but the breaking point seemed overdue
I hear a barred owl call
I'm here for you, I'm here for you
and when the mornin' comes, will the clarity too?
oh relief you know I long for you.

Blue was my color last time I saw you
and you weren't who you said you were, were you?
and there is green in between all of the red
does it mean that I wish I was the object in your bed?

I don't exist to inspire you
I will not accept the label of a muse
I have all the same potential that you do
so please don't take my voice away by calling me a muse
It would surely break my heart
if I couldn't be both artist and art
'cause to live inside a framework someone else has made is hard
and I am not a character you've written from the start
and all the sad truth is
I'd love you any way you painted me
any way you make believe
and all the sad truth is
I'd love you any way you painted me
any way you make believe
I don't exist to inspire you
I will not accept the label of a muse
I have all the same potential that you do
so do not take my voice away by calling me a muse.

There's a fire in my stomach today
'cause once again I witness woman hurt with man to blame
it seems by now we are used to pain
but nothing can compare to feeling shame
won't you please, please, please leave that poor girl alone
universe, I swear she didn't do anything that wrong
and yet she's left with sticks and stones
and nothing more than broken hearts and bones
consider this, to feel unsafe out in the world
imagine that your cries of wolf all go unheard
so you remain silent when you're hurt
and live under the weight of others words
won't you please, please, please leave that poor girl alone
universe, I swear she didn't do anything that wrong
and yet she's left with sticks and stones
and nothing more than broken hearts and bones
He feels entitled to attention based on
only his own interest and not a thought inside her head
and N O never crossed his mind no
how dare she bruise his ego
now he will say she wasn't good enough to take home anyway
won't you please, please please leave that poor girl alone
universe, I swear she didn't do anything that wrong
and yet she's left with sticks and stones
and nothing more than broken hearts and bones
please, please leave that poor girl alone
universe, I swear she didn't do anything that wrong
and yet she's left with sticks and stones
and nothing more than broken hearts and bones
please, please leave that poor girl alone
universe, I swear she didnt do anything.

I don't have the time to waste
on a girl who didn't love me in the first place
oh Allison, the game is won
you left me bee without a queen
there is no love left in this five minute scene
oh Allison, the game is done
in a dream I am pulling teeth
and saying that I've gotta leave
I'm sorry no, I'll take it to go
this once warm home is filled with ghosts
I don't have the time to waste
on a girl who didn't love me in the first place
oh Allison
