LYRICS GAME

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

From the time we're kids

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
