lyrics

so here we are
and what am I supposed to have learned?

here we are
my journey’s done, my ending earned
I’m still waiting for a sign

I’m at my door
look back at the streets I’ve travelled down
as dusk falls on this sodden town
I hold my key

and maybe in my journey
I expected someone to come tell me
what I really did know all along
realised in the final song
it’d make a good story

no I can’t change
what I feel in the face of tragedy
or the things that people think about me
and I’m tired
of drowning the world in all my tears
of beating myself up for all these years

and now I’m supposed to figure out
what being this womangirl is all about
I’m sick of it hanging over me
wishing someone would tell me what to be
(it’s up to me)

I won’t apologise
I will look at myself with flooded eyes
and tell me what I know to be real
I’m a woman
and I’m allowed to feel

and I will reach inside of me and take that little girl’s hand, tell her there’s
still so much about the world that I don’t even understand
hold her in my arms and warn she’s gonna have to make her own plans

so here we are
tears will keep falling as long as I grieve
the world goes dark as day falls into eve
and I’m a woman
but that girl will never leave

I know things now that I didn’t before
