options

please start to talk to me
the way you speak
to that little girl

you know she should've ran away
you know she should've listened to anyone
else

you know she should've learned to fight
you know words didn't suit her right
you know she should've listened to herself
not anyone else

run run run away
do what you should've done
when you were her age
run run run away
run away

you can't touch the same water twice
i try to reach the surface sometimes
i'm screaming at her make her way out
i'm screaming you're too young for this house

i was burning to love who i could
but i was the kindling and not the wood
don't be closed minded
you could still find it

like you did before
didn't know there were options
used to lie on the floor
wondering where you dropped it
