And you wonder
Parade me around as your trophy of love
But tell them how Iām not good enough
How I am too thin
How I need to have kids
And you wonder why I stay far away from all this
Pull focus on me, your beacon of pride
Then tell me which parts you need me to hide
How I wonāt eat meat
How I want no wife
And you wonder why Iāve started a whole new life
Ask me whatās wrong like you donāt have a clue
Because I canāt tell you that it could be you
How you make me feel shame
How you make me feel guilt
And you wonder why Iām crying over the milk youāve spilled.
I donāt feel safe
I feel like Iāve disgraced you
And I donāt feel safe to share
I feel like that would break you.
And you wonder.
