Why are you still waiting
Nothing has happened with him
Why don't you help yourself
To replace all of the self-hating

It's not the mid eighteen hundreds
Where damsels in distress are
All women in dead castles

It's not the mid nineteen hundreds
Where cleaning cooking and caring are
Up to pretty petty girls

It's not the end of the world.

So why wait for him
And wait
for the bright light to dim

"I'm not capable of stirring my bowl of courage

I'm not capable of making eye contact without looking like garbage

I won't do it
I won't do it

I won't risk anything
That might lose him

I won't do it
I won't do it"
