For 19 years I was a good girl

Fought with Mama over chores

Tried making Daddy see I’m right

For 19 years I was a good girl

For 19 years I lied

 

I believed everyone my whole life

19 years without a doubt

Day is day and night is night

For all my life it was so clear

I can’t have what I like

 

Shouldn’t I try to be happy

Isn’t my life worth this much

Why should I have to give in

For 19 years I was so stubborn

I thought to live was a sin

 

How many rules have I broken now

Lying straight to Mama’s face

Making a promise that I’ll break

For 19 years I was a good girl

For 19 years I was a fake

 

Isn’t this everyone’s big dream

Find a passion worth pursuit

19 years is none too soon

The only thing getting in my way

Is thinking I’m no good

 

Don’t I deserve to be happy

Isn’t my life worth this much

Why should I keep breaking skin

For 19 years I was so stupid

I thought to live was a sin

 

How many swears have I broken now

Lie to everybody’s face

Until I’m out to my own place

For 19 years I was a good girl

For 19 years I was a good girl
