When I was 5, I liked to play in the garden

And let the summer sun wash over me

The boy next door, he was my only friend

We played outside and hopped over the fence

Then one day, he said "Pull down your pants"

On the other side of that raspberry bush

I knew inside that it was wrong but he was nice and I was young

And that was the first time I lied to save an abuser

And when I was 13, you know my body was changing

My grey-blue eyes weren't the focal point no more

I caught the attention of a boy needing saving

He said he loved me, but it was all part of his plan

You know what he taught me

He taught me what it means

What it means to feel so powerless

He didn't have to hold me down, his grip was on my mind

I said "No, no please, no"

Then I gave in

Some might say "Just let it go

They were young and just didn't know"

But they weren't alone and I've been fighting since 5 years old

To reclaim this sack of skin as mine

So when I wear my low cut shirts

Just know it's not for you

This is me, and I'm taking back my body

To feel like I own my own skin

Yeah to feel like I own my own skin

Yeah you know, you own your own skin
