just be a good girl

they said:

won't you be a good girl and stay...

won't you be a good girl and wait...

won't you be a good girl and watch...

but i asked:

what if i want to stand?

what if i want to move?

what if i want to close my eyes?

i can't stay

i can't wait

i can't watch it fade

You won't understand what it takes

You won't understand what it means

You won't try to understand what it means to be a good girl

I say:

i'll stand to fight

i'll move not to be forgotten

i'll close my eyes, only to release the tears that must come

i'll be a good girl in my own ways

i'll be a good girl who fights the battles that must be won

i'll be a good girl just a good girl.
