I suppose she's supposed to be
Exactly what they want her to be
So pretty and pink, necklace and ring
Don't be heard, just be seen
But that's not who I am
She said, "I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish they'd go away, go away
'Cause it's crushing me
It's crushing me"
Don't you know that you don't have a say?
And the scarlet "A" on your neck
So pretty in red, eyes are all dead
What they haven't said gets stuck in your head
The silence is deafening
And your heart is bleeding out
But they don't care, no, they never cared at all
No, they never cared at all
That's not who I am
She said, "I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish they'd go away, go away
'Cause it's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me"
She just wants to be free
Take it or leave it
Eyes like the sunrise, colorful rainbow
She said, "I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish they'd go away, go away
'Cause they're crushing me
Oh, they're crushing me, oh"
(I can feel, I can feel too much)
When they're crushing me
(I can feel, I can feel too much)
Yeah, they're crushing me (I can feel, I can feel)
Crushing me
Crash down on me
Crash down on me
