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



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

You never even loved yourself

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 is not my own

Ashamed and alone

From all that's been done to you

It's not your fault I remind myself



Chorus



No matter what I've done

Or is done to me

Nothing's unforgivable

Or unable to be set free



Chorus (to end
