I'm never told that I am pretty
I'm never told that I am kind
And my soul burns now with fire
Deep inside


I want to become brave and courageous
Not buried in self-pity of my own
Ashamed and alone from all
That's been done to me
It's not my fault I remind myself


Chorus:
You say don't be afraid
But I feel afraid
You say don't laugh or cry
But I show emotion
You say food will be on the table
And birds in the sky
But I'm hungry
So hungry
And it's cloudy outside


You never loved me like a daughter
You never even loved yourself
And now you treat me like a burden
Just another object on your shelf


I want you to know now that I love you
And this pain that I carry's not my own
Ashamed and alone
From all that's been done to you
It's not you fault
I remind myself


Repeat Chorus


No matter what I've done
Or is done to me
Nothing's unforgivable
Or unable to be set free.


Repeat Chorus Twice
