## Lyrics

I can feel your eyes in my direction

As though you got your claws upon my skin

Tell me how you deserve my affection

Just because you're in the place I'm in

I'm tired

Feeling so helpless

I'm over walking a line

I'm sick of tripping on wires

Just to stay alive

If freedom is a gift

Sing out

I wanna see the walls

Come down

If everybody breathes

Then I know

That I'm a person

I'm human

I'm a woman

It's all the little things in life that make me

It's all the ways I've changed throughout the years

It's not about the faults, the flaws, the failures

We were made to tear apart

But I'm tired

I'm feeling so helpless

I'm over walking a line

I'm sick of tripping on wires

Just to stay alive

If freedom is a gift

Sing out

I wanna see the walls

Come down

If everybody breathes

Then I know

That I'm a person

I'm human

I'm a woman
