lyrics

She’s the child that you betrayed
When you denied the choice she made
She refused to yield, you tried to shut it down
You refused to feel, you chose to cut her out

How your words held their shape
Held in time and held in place
By your fear of losing face
Now you’re twenty years too late

Make a child, you make a mind
Its own desires, its own designs
How you let them grow is how you gain the most
How you let them go is how you keep them close

How your words held their shape
Held in time and held in place
By your fear of losing face
Now you’re twenty years too late

For the hurt, for your hate, you have still not said you’re sorry
To the child you betrayed; it was not your choice to make

How your words held their shape
Held in time and held in place
By your fear of losing face
Now you’re twenty years too late

How your words held their shape
Held in time and held in place
Twenty years of saving face
Twenty years you can’t replace

Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar, though you can’t quite put your finger on why. ... more
