Walk In The Park

I’ve been told I should smile 'cause thats pretty
Have been told I need to chill out and relax
Understood that I shouldn’t be so bossy
'Cause it doesn’t suit a girl to be that confident
Then they said it’s my fault that I’ve been mistreated
Why did I put myself in that situation in the first place?
And I’ve learned that I need be more understanding
Boys will be boys and thats just the way it is
So it’s okay when I walk home late?
I tell my self not to be afraid
Got my keys in my hand in my pocket
I pretend that I’m on the phone
So you think that I’m not alone
How is that okay?
How is that okay?
I refuse to accept that
We ever allowed this
To become so disfigured and real
I refuse to accept that
You think there is no need to fix this
Cause it’s no part of your reality
You’ve been told boys don’t cry and don’t be a sissy (like thats a bad thing)
You’ve been told girls just don’t really know what they want
What a waste if I don‘t put a smile on my face. When
I make for such a beautiful accessory
So you’ve learned no means yes, you just gotta keep asking
I wonder
How many years till you start to actually believe them?
When will this toxicity finally come to an ending?
Cause I really need a break and some time for healing
It’s not okay when I walk home late
I tell myself not to be afraid
Got my keys in my hand in my pocket
I pretend that I’m on the phone
So you think that I’m not alone
How is that okay? How is that okay?
It’s not okay when I walk home late
I tell myself not to be afraid
Got my keys in my hand in my pocket
I pretend that I’m on the phone
So you think that I’m not alone
How is that okay? It’s not okay! okay!
I won’t accept this!
How can we allow this?
It’s just so disfigured and real
How can we allow this?
I won’t accept this!
