Words rush out of your mouth and pound the ground

Collapsing into nothing, sliding down the cracks

Into a world where misleading words live

For every girl who believed in the lies

For every girl who even tried

To be something they’re not

Molding into the expectations of the world

Was something simply too hard to try

Let it go and begin again

It’s not too late to live again

Open your eyes and see this world

It’s got nothing to bring you in the end

Diminishing things we like to bring

To the table to raise the bar

Of what people think we are

Reputations we attempt to uphold

Only sink our boats and wreck our world

Open your hands and accept the fact

That the lies you believed are lessons learned

Beloved take this vow and run with it

Look to the heavens and hold onto it

Where the clouds meet the blue sky

That’s where your promise lies
