My life is hanging by a thread
One wrong move and I’ll be dead
It’s held in the hands of those I love
The people that I’ll never be free of
Always watching what I do and say
making me hide my true self away
I have to be the ‘perfect daughter’
Pretend I’m strong, don’t let me falter.
for if I ever do then I will surely die
a death so quick I won’t get to say bye
If I so much as cry a single tear
they’ll come and instill in me fear
or if I even whisper any rude words
they’ll silence me, leave me unheard.
If I ever dare come close to the line
they’ll snuff out this light of mine
So I’ve watched what I’ve done and said
After all my life is hanging by just a thread
