I Am a Woman

I am A Woman

I am a woman

I have my knees

Sometimes I need you to make them bleed

I am a woman

I have my thoughts

Sometimes I think you have all I want

and it's not like you're taking it from me

but still sometimes it feels so bad to be

Someone who is standing next to someone

who is someone

I am a Woman

I have my dreams

Sometimes I'm dreaming

Instead of dealing

I am a Woman

I feel before I think

Right now I'm feeling

My dreams could never stick

and it's not like you're taking them from me

but still sometimes it feels so bad to be

Someone who is standing next to someone

who is someone

You sometimes tell me how I ought to be

How my problem is I'm not strong enough

But darling, I am a Woman

I have bled my guts out and kept on living

Let’s see you do the same

You don't understand

I don't want to be a star

Stars are dying things screaming their death wishes before they disappear

but don't think that just because I am not screaming

You can out shine me like I'm not even here

If you are the sun I am the moon

You think you're better because you are fire

Because no one can look directly at your light

But one day you will burn out

and I will keep on guiding loved ones to each other every night

I am a woman

I have my knees

Sometimes I need you

Sometimes I don't
