She wasn’t fine

[Verse 1] She learned to fold up small Take up less room Smile when it hurts And swallow the truth Her body kept score In clenched little rooms Hands on the wheel While the ceiling stayed moved She did not rage She went quiet instead Numb like a coat Pulled over her head [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need Don’t want Don’t expect That’s the rule Rest feels wrong Joy feels like a trap In her chest [Chorus] She was invisible as fuck Invisible as fuck You missed the bruised-up hush You missed it all Her body knew first Her body knew first It said, I can’t Then it said it again [Verse 2] She don’t ask for help She just gets it done Carries the bags Carries the blood in her tongue Quiet resentment Like dust on the shelf For every time She had to be her own help Everyone said But she looked fine That’s what you say When you don’t read the signs [Pre-Chorus] Don’t need Don’t want Don’t expect That’s the rule So she made pain Look like staying calm Look like “I’m cool” [Chorus] She was invisible as fuck Invisible as fuck You missed the shaking in her gut You missed it all Her body knew first Her body knew first It said, I can’t Then it said it again [Bridge] Your body is not betraying you It is telling you What you are not allowed to say Now say it Now say it Now say it out loud She was never fine She was hidden in plain sight Invisible as fuck Until she took her life back [Final Chorus] She was invisible as fuck Invisible as fuck But the truth came up And it would not sink Her body knew first Her body knew first It said, I can’t And that meant something Your body is not betraying you It is telling you What you are not allowed to say Now say it Now say it Now say it tonight
