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