August
Pretty child chasing joy
Thought nobody loved her but that boy
But he didn't love her right
Left her with a reckless hand
Swore she'd never trust a man
No matter what it felt like
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
Even though
It's August now
She took a while to tell her story
Afraid it didn't have much glory
But oh how we all longed to hear
She was looking for a way to say
But she kept looking at the scars that stayed
Praying someday they'd disappear
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
Even though
It's August now
I tore every mask down
Replaced them with crowns
And reminded her that she was brave
Put an end to the great lies
Inside of a great mind
She wasn't born to be a slave
And that's why she's dancing so free
Going out
That's why she's dancing so free
Going out
That's why she ditched the long sleeves
Going out
Even though
It's August now
Oh
Even though
It's August now
Thought nobody loved her but that boy
But he didn't love her right
Left her with a reckless hand
Swore she'd never trust a man
No matter what it felt like
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
Even though
It's August now
She took a while to tell her story
Afraid it didn't have much glory
But oh how we all longed to hear
She was looking for a way to say
But she kept looking at the scars that stayed
Praying someday they'd disappear
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
That's why she's
Wearing long sleeves going out
Even though
It's August now
I tore every mask down
Replaced them with crowns
And reminded her that she was brave
Put an end to the great lies
Inside of a great mind
She wasn't born to be a slave
And that's why she's dancing so free
Going out
That's why she's dancing so free
Going out
That's why she ditched the long sleeves
Going out
Even though
It's August now
Oh
Even though
It's August now
