It's well known, they say
That to please them, you have to be pretty
Understand that you have to be quiet
When you don't share the same opinion
And I've made some judgments
On snippets and some moments
To finally understand
That I can't do the same

You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you have to be submissive?
You're stupid if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But me, I know what I want to become
It's on my terms that I want to smile

As soon as we are children
Through movies and novels
We have to be taken away
By a prince to be delivered
And I've made some judgments
On these tales, on these moments
Our story is not a game
When we are free to love who we want

You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you have to be submissive?
You're stupid if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But me, I know what I want to become
It's on my terms that I want to smile

You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you have to be submissive?
You're stupid if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But me, I know what I want to become
It's on my terms that I want to smile
