Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Fifteen years old
I learned to fold
Verse 1
Little girl taught that love is gentle
Taught that you should smile and never make a fuss
Then I met a boy who said he'd keep me
Said I was his everything and I believed
Not pretty enough
Not good enough
His sister spit my name like it was poison
His mother looked right through me like a ghost
Pre-Chorus
I was kind
I was quiet
I was taught to be both
So I swallowed every stone they threw
Chorus
Too scared to leave
Too scared to stay
I hid the blue under my sleeve
And wore a smile every day
Too scared to run
Too scared to scream
Nobody told me love could look like this
Nobody told me love could feel like a fist
Post-Chorus
Go, go, go
Where do I go
Go, go, go
Verse 2
Something went wrong so the walls came closer
A knife held cold to the soft of my throat
Hair pulled back
A hand around my breathing
Torn down and broken but I never wrote a note
For years I couldn't say the word no
For years I couldn't ask for anyone's hand
Pre-Chorus
I was young
I was frozen
I was taught to be both
So I buried every bruise below
Chorus
Too scared to leave
Too scared to stay
I hid the blue under my sleeve
And wore a smile every day
Too scared to run
Too scared to scream
Nobody told me love could look like this
Nobody told me love could feel like a fist
Post-Chorus
Run, run, run
Where do I run
Run, run, run
Bridge
Twenty-four and I finally fled
Left the monster in his bed
Now he comes around and he don't recall
Remembers only summer never the fall
And I'm shaking at the doorway
Every time he's near
Breakdown
I wanted to scream
(I wanted to scream)
I wanted to break free
(I wanted to break free)
He never took me to the hospital
And it almost killed me
Almost killed me
Chorus
Too scared to leave
But I left anyway
I pulled the blue out from my sleeve
And I walked into the day
I wasn't scared to run
I was scared to stay
Somebody told me love should never feel like a fist
So I ran
And I never looked back
Outro
There's a way out
Always a way
Look for the light
Look for someone who cares
And run
Run
Never look back
Never look back
