It's well-known, people say
That to please them, you gotta be pretty
Understand you have to keep quiet
When you don't share the same view
And I've passed a few judgments
On bits and fleeting moments
Only to finally understand
That I can't do the same
You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you gotta be submissive
You're dumb if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But I know what I wanna become
I wanna smile on my own terms
Through movies and novels
We're supposed to be taken away
By a prince to be rescued
And I've passed a few judgments
About those tales, about those moments
Our story isn't a game
When we're free to love whoever we want
You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you gotta be submissive
You're dumb if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But I know what I wanna become
I wanna smile on my own terms
You're beautiful, that's what I've always been told
But only when you smile
Why is it always unspoken
That to be loved, you gotta be submissive
You're dumb if you stay silent
You're crazy if you speak up
But I know what I wanna become
I wanna smile on my own terms
