Is it me who gets so nervous when you speak?
Cos you're bigger than I am.
In my head I know exactly what to say:
How to put you in your place.
Make them go away
Cos it's easier
I can't face another day
Without questioning
No-one's shown me how to pray
Will I ever be
Someone you don't want to hate?
When I need help then who will come to back me up?
There is no-one on my side
I have been so black-and-blue but covered up.
I will never share my shame - so
Make them go away
Cos it's easier
I can't take another day
Without questioning
They told you I missed school today
But there's so much that they didn't say.
Now all I face is angry looks at every turn.
This grass is greener than you are.
If I could look you in the eye and see you shrink
Then I would say I am complete.
Cos you're bigger than I am.
