Unlearn

Unlearn every story that I picked up (unlearn)
I burn all the pain that I tripped on (I burn)
Reverse animosity I slipped on (reverse)
I yearn for the power that I came from (I yearn)

You call it love, I call it trauma bonding
You say "play it cool", I ask what you're avoiding
We learn from women's words I heard they're half the story
I walk out the door I hear my mother tell me
"Be big, be brave, be special"
"Be big, be brave, be special"

Unlearn every story that I picked up (unlearn)
I burn all the pain that I tripped on (I burn)
Reverse animosity I slipped on (reverse)
I yearn for the power that I came from (I yearn)

Unlearn apologizing for my desire and anger
Unlearn the analyzing that tries to pull me under
Unlearn romanticizing the altar that we're saved on
I hear my mother calling "remember where you came from
Be big, be brave, be special"
"Be big, be brave, be special"

Unlearn animosity I slipped on (unlearn, unlearn)
I yearn for the power that I came from (I yearn)
