You used up your time with me
Burying me in agony
Your thoughts were mine, they consumed my brain
And once they began I was never the same
Young girl who once fell under jurisdiction
With a wave of your hand, this is your conviction
For wanting me to not count for the census
This year
You say that it was for love
As if calling me your little dove
Would somehow change the damage and pain
And somehow convince me that I should abstain
Manipulation is something I can recognize
So I stare as I watch it pass over your eyes
‘Cause you want me to not count for the census
This year
I held back the years of tears and fears
Pretending I’m okay on those gray cloudy days
Though I know it will heal, make a deal, it’s unreal
That we must go through this, live and miss out on bliss
Hey
Hey
Ooh
I wish that I knew (Hey)
Why you do what you do (Hey)
I wish that I knew (Hey)
Why you do what you do (Hey)
I wish that I knew (Hey)
Why you do what you do
Hey. (Hey)
