Lyrics

Didn't We Deserve a Look at You the Way You Really Are

For decades, you paraded as a crazy bitch

Wretchedness, your lucky charm

Hung on a bracelet displayed on your arm

All we saw is not how you are

Caught a glimpse of you

In an unselfconscious smile

Revealing yourself

Didn't we deserve a look at you the way you really are?
