about

To me, this song is about (in ten words or less):

Victim blaming and shaming in cases of sexual assault

lyrics

Truly adored, in their eyes, you were born
You were a girl and your mind hadn't learned, no
You could've stayed in here with them, no
Never to go out there with him

And the moment you strayed about
We were sure that your star would drown
In the see of the ways you'd have to pay
And when you played
I would've followed you

Hands in a jar and your face on the wall
Trying to scream doesn't get you very far, Lord
You were a girl, so young, so long
All ours have gone on home, so long

And the moments will fade away
When you come back inside to stay
In the memory of all you had to pay
And when they played
No one would fall for you

Call out and see who hears
Draw out your breath and dry your tears
Begin to change your mind
Inside out

What if it's all on you?
Maybe it's all on you
Just put it all on you
We'll put it all on you
