"It's never been a secret

And yet she's surprised

When I dress in the morning

And she sees my thighs

It's never been just there

But she wouldn't know that

She pulls me by the hair

To check my wrists and stomach

She's shocked but I don't know why

I know I've told her

And in fact, she's seen me cry

Why in world wouldn't she know?

And then it hits me

And I laugh like I'm crazy

And I realize I may as well be

Because all this time I was wrong

Wrong about her caring

Wrong about her love

Wrong to see her trusting

Wrong to show her my legs

Because now she's gone

And I'm not surprised

All because I was crazy enough

To show her my thighs"
