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 Oh, 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 Oh, 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 your fault, I remind myself Oh, 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 Oh, 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 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
