Small Again

I'll make myself small again
I'll cross my legs and won't stand too tall again
But my posture is perfect
A body deserving of scrutiny
Subject to shame

I'll let him touch me just this once
Cause you taught that's what it means to be loved
Took your word like the gospel
It was my fault you were hostile
Who cares I was only fourteen

And I'm sick of holding myself
But there's no one else who's strong enough to do it
I won't let you hurt her again
So I tuck myself in the wrong side of the bed
Cry myself to sleep, but it's better to weep
Than to keep going through it
Won't make myself small again

Lukewarm promise
Almost honest
You say you'll be better
I want to believe you
I want you, I need you
But by now, I know better

I won't make myself small again
