I was far too young to have to build my own home
At seven years old I was expected to act full grown
Sit this way, no don't say that
What happenes in this house stays in this house
Don't you forget it
Act like a lady don't ask for too much
Your being greedy
Hope it's enough
Did I do a great job
Stay saying sorry
Alone in my room
Being reminded that this is not my home
I pray I get to leave soon
Onto the next house
I hope she's nice
She bought me new clothes
And a bookshelf that's white
Finally a refuge somewhere safe
I hope I get to stay
Still I can hear their voices say,
Act like a lady don't ask for too much
Your being greedy
I Hope I did enough
Did I do a great job
If it's not I'll keep saying sorry
I wish it would all shut up
Even with my head this messed up
I found a way to teach myself love
And I survived
