Pride and Sensibility
Far too young for that you say
Shouldn't do things that way
Never get the "Okay" to make it better
You make decisions for myself
Don't really know anyone else
My life will always be angry ever after
Because I don't wanna go to parties
Don't know what a broken heart is
And still and still you steal my entire being
Being that my legs are lame
And my mind's ashamed
Of being what it is for so long
Too scared to be outspoken
Prepared to be kicked down again
And again and again
Paper ripping everywhere
Watercolors dripping from my hair
Telling everyone that they can be complacent
Lost count of things that weren't there
And it's far difficult to wear
As a coat or a yolk, over me
Breaking code in the breaking cold
Frozen solid in the dead of the summer breeze
And the other nations are
Losing patience for me, waiting for me
Don't wanna risk my heart being broken
And I don't wanna be the token
Oh, how I wish that I had spoken
Now my head is all guilt-laden
And my sanity is fadin'
I can't climb so high
But I will learn to fly
Yesterday, or today, or someday
No more boot stains on my forehead
And I will get the "Go ahead!"
For this time and all time
For this time and all time
You will see that the sensible one is me
