You Wanted Grace

[intro] aahhhhh mmmmm Verse 1 You wanted grace But never offered mercy You liked the sound Of quiet girls unraveling politely I kept the house Lit like an altar Held the weight And smiled until my gums bled Chorus Is this what strength looks like to you? No mess, no sound, no bruises showing through You only clapped when I collapsed on cue If I break wrong, it’s drama If I break right, it’s brave You wanted grace... BUT YOU MAAADE RAAAAAGE !! Verse 2 You framed my silence Like it was sacred But it was just The only thing I had that didn’t cost me The kindness you praised Was never returned You kissed my patience Like it owed you something Chorus Is this what strength looks like to you? No mess, no sound, no bruises showing through You only clapped when I collapsed on cue If I bleed wrong, I’m crazy If I bleed right, I’m saved You wanted grace But you made rage Bridge I ironed my fury into dresses Bit down until the metal bent You thought that was beautiful But it was just survival And I’m done making it look good Final Chorus Is this what strength looks like to you? No mess, no sound, no bruises showing through You only clapped when I collapsed on cue If I scream wrong, I’m hysterical If I scream right, I’m brave You wanted grace But you made rage
