Song Lyrics:

Why are you hanging on
So tight
To the rope that I’m hanging from
Off this island
This was an escape plan
Carefully timed it
So let me go
And dive into the waves below

Who tends the orchards?
Who fixes up the gables
Emotional torture
From the head of your high table
Who fetches the water
From the rocky mountain spring
And walk back down again
To feel you words and their sharp sting
And I’m getting fucking tired

The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is cracking
If our love ended, would that be a bad thing?
As the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour

Apologies from my tongue
Never yours
Busy lapping from flowing cup
And stabbing with your fork
I know you’re a smart man
And weaponise
The false incompetence
It’s dominance under guise

If we had a daughter
I’d watch and could not save her
The emotional torture
From the head of your high table
She’d do what you taught her
She’d meet the same cruel fate
So now I’ve gotta run
So I can undo this mistake
At least I’ve gotta try

The capillaries in my eyes are bursting
If our love died, would that be the worst thing?
For somebody I thought was my saviour
You sure make me do a whole lot of labour
The calloused skin on my hands is cracking
If our love ended, would that be a bad thing?
As the silence haunts our bed chamber
You make me do too much labour

All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
24/7 baby machine
So he can live out his picket fence dreams
It’s not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour

I wish people would actually listen to this WHOLE song and not just the last part because it's so so powerful ❤

[Julius_Ceezer]

I'm honestly so moved by the power of this song that I have no idea what to even say. This song speaks volumes in just a single line and the artist sounds so purely emotional while singing this

[delaneyarnold]

The part about “if we had a daughter… so now I’ve gotta run” resonates so much with me because I am having a daughter and I realized that if I didn’t run away from him and that relationship where there wasn’t any love, she would feel the same way I do because of him. I was afraid to leave him because I felt as if I couldn’t do it on my own but I raised my village of people who already love my daughter and are waiting on her… they are ready to meet her. I got a great job with a good pay rate. And he told me he hoped the baby died. I’m glad I ran from him. I’m glad I stood for my daughter. She will never feel that pain.

[Gracie.]

This song shows how hard women have it, yet still nobody gives it any recognition.

'Not all men, but all women'

[madisonschmidt]

"Its not an act of love if you make her."


SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

[kerrann]

i really feel like paris will never understand just how much this song has woken up and empowered so many suffering women. love it so much this song is truly one of the most important of our era

[myMelodylife]

The lyrics sound like the singer personally went through this experience...I hope she's okay. Such a great song!

[stayroxy]

"the false incompetence it's dominance under disguise " yupppp ...

[worm]

I work on a farm and the next time we have all the ladies on the same team I’m teaching them all the words to this so we can sing it together like a chain gang

[rose-bqxj]

"The capillaries in my eyes are bursting, if our love died would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour, you sure make me do a whole lot of labour."

[Caroline-ynnc]

the worst part of growing up is realizing that it’s true

[cierrajaquillard]

This is my first time actually listening to the lyrics and I didn’t expect to be in shambles afterwards. Life is hard 😕

[babyxmagg]

This the song that deserves an award😒🩷

It’s so special to me, i had my first child at 16 and second at 17. I was also the only one working (i had 2 jobs) i still was the only one besides gramma watching the kids. This song holds so much truth, his whole family defended him doing absolutely nothing

[rishabnair]

This isn't song writing this is poetry

[kaycee-cs]

I love when she says emotional torture

[You_luv_Princess]

“Emotional torture from the head of your high table”. That hit very hard

[elizaachitei]

Some men cover their wives with their 'wings' not to protect them, but so they can't see the light anymore

[BarbaraHunt]

Brava! Your lyrics really really speak to the misogyny in each and every culture on Earth! And some women say there's no need for feminism. Those women are absolutely wrong!

[kimella]

Only just found this song, amazing music and lyrics, love it, unfortunately saw it from an instagram where many mens comments were just attacking it and saying women are just complaining etc (proving the point about men lol) .

[kristinlenton]

Listening to this after the election results hits different…
