A warm November Sunday
Hike, breakfast, and present purchase
Afternoon nap while you slept, I had a secret that I kept
The lights flicker, the air feels cold
Room is full, but I'm so alone
Did you make this choice, ma'am
Has anyone forced your hand
Painful decision (why would you wish that on me)
Awful decision (why would you wish that on me)
Not part of my plan (why would you wish that on me)
Hoped you'd understand
All the thoughts that fill my head
All the guilt, the fear, and the dread
But now you're gone
Goodbye so long
You were a part of me, but now I'm free
Flash forward six months past
Bang silence, a vote for violence
Cries ring out, heard so loud
Anger and outrage from the crowd
You stripped me down to watch me drown
You took away what wasn't yours to take
No, I didn't make this choice, ma'am
It's just they have all forced my hand
Fought with all my might (why would you wish that on me)
To keep my own rights (why would you wish that on me)
No option, no choice (why would you wish that on me)
You silenced my voice
I can't stand much more
What's left to fight for now
How much can I take
When will I break
My autonomy is dead
(why would you wish that on me)
