I am A Woman

I am a woman
I have my knees
Sometimes I need you to make them bleed

I am a woman
I have my thoughts
Sometimes I think you have all I want

and it's not like you're taking it from me
but still sometimes it feels so bad to be
Someone who is standing next to someone
who is someone

I am a Woman
I have my dreams
Sometimes I'm dreaming
Instead of dealing

I am a Woman
I feel before I think
Right now I'm feeling
My dreams could never stick

and it's not like you're taking them from me
but still sometimes it feels so bad to be
Someone who is standing next to someone
who is someone

You sometimes tell me how I ought to be
How my problem is I'm not strong enough
But darling, I am a Woman
I have bled my guts out and kept on living
Let’s see you do the same
You don't understand
I don't want to be a star
Stars are dying things screaming their death wishes before they disappear
but don't think that just because I am not screaming
You can out shine me like I'm not even here
If you are the sun I am the moon
You think you're better because you are fire
Because no one can look directly at your light
But one day you will burn out
and I will keep on guiding loved ones to each other every night


I am a woman
I have my knees
Sometimes I need you
Sometimes I don't
