People make excuses when girls are hurt
Some way that justifies what has been done to us
if we weren't where we were
If we didn't look the way we looked
Acted the way we acted
It wouldn't have happened
If everything is explainable girls can just tell themselves they're safe because they did everything right
An illusion that shatters the moment someone decides to cross the lines we draw in the sand
We let men tell us how to stop them from hurting us
Because they apparently can't control themselves fucking otherwise
