about

wrote this song about forgiving myself

lyrics

this is a letter
for the men who raped me
when they were boys
and we were children

i'm not a child anymore
but i'm sure you are
and i can't take this anymore
but i'm sure you can
i'm sure you can


i was so scared
i was so scared
and i needed help

i was so scared i was so scared
and i needed help

i was ashamed
i was ashamed
of my
body
i was ashamed i was ashamed
of my body
of my body
of my body

*****

but i forgive you
for being stupid
and for being cruel
and for being
mean to me
and i forgive you
for using me
and my body
as your tool
and i forgive you
for not being greater
than the lies
that were told to you

i forgive you
i forgive you
i forgive you
i'm trying

i forgive you
for being stupid
and for being cruel
and for being
mean to me
and i forgive you
for using me
and my body
as your tool
and i forgive you
for not being greater
than the lies
that were told to you

i'm trying
i'm trying
to forget
you
