lyrics

sitting in my parents’ drive
wondering how i’ve become
the woman that i am
when all i ever wanna do is run
far from my obligations
far from my country
far from all i love

my sister thinks that i should
find myself a man
to help me carry the weight
someone to understand
but i tried that all before
and i don’t think
i’m cut out to be adored

what keeps me here
what keeps me waking up?

my cousin’s getting married
in the church today
i will wear a mask,
keep my pessimism at bay
i will bite my tongue
when i hear the vows
and i’ll join the cheering crowds

what keeps me here
what keeps me waking up?
