lyrics

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.
