i am pleased to tell you things
that you don't want to hear
let's talk about freedom
and why you feel you've got it bad
when you've got it good
you're misunderstood
just sink that drips life from the faucet
every now and then
can't play pretend
and it tears you up inside
you scream for lullabies
and arrowheads
i'm afraid that you'll misbehave
and i'll keep calling you and i'll write you
but you'll be gone
so promise me this, promise me that
you'll keep fighting and i'll keep writing
i don't wanna be the little girl smiling
through the bars while inside you're crying
hold me, save me, please change me
well, we don't change
we only rearrange
some may say we're weak
we are just tactics
that carve out space
we have no strategy in place
i disagree
we're meant to be all that we can be
and if that's not enough for you
it's enough for me
so promise me this, promise me that
you'll keep fighting and i'll keep writing
i don't wanna be the little girl smiling
through the bars while inside you're crying
hold me, save me, please change me
well, we don't change
we only rearrange
