Lion and The Lamb
Not Always Playing Hard To Get

I used to love when life was so simple
Back when I smiled so wide I had dimples
But then you came and screwed that all up
Because of what you did I now feel numb
You were the start of a bad lifetime
I lost the feeling of that childhood high
When you’re too young to know what anything is
But you took that away and I took the hits
I wasn’t the only one that you took advantage of
You saw this sweet 8 year old and you really messed her up
A decade of friendship later and you did it again
Only this time it really fucked with my head
I really regretted all those times I was close
But every time something told me to not overdose
Yet when you did it again I started to regret that
I wanted to jump off a cliff just to go splat
After it happened I was told to keep quiet
By the others that were there and I wanted to riot
I couldn’t just stand by and let you walk
Soon you’ll be the new kid on the block
But now it’ll be a more secure place
Where the others will want to spit in your face
Yet deep down inside I know I’ll feel guilty
For sending you away but dammit I'm still me
I won’t let what happened change who I am
Except now I’m the lion, no longer the lamb
I wanted to break but knew that I couldn’t
If I did you’d have won and you shouldn’t
I’m stronger now than I used to be
I decided to soar and set myself free
I didn’t listen to the ones who said I’m a victim
I’m a survivor, not just a statistic in the system
You can never silence my trauma
It’s not the box owned by Pandora
You can’t tell my to keep it closed
I’ll keep opening it till you’re overexposed
It’s time to stop the sexism we faceÂ
“Boys will be boys” is not something to say
The real men out there would never do that
But the ones that do should lose their ball sack
They say the punishment should fit the crime
Well I say we should take what they did one at a time
I know you’re thinking that this all sounds crazy
But what if it was your mother or daughter, sister or baby
Wouldn’t you want that man to pay
More than just a list and some time locked away
You would wish the worst on that manÂ
So it’s time we start to change the game plan
Don’t get me wrong it happens to men too
And not only a man could do that to you
That’s not my story so I cannot tell it
And if I even tried it would be unfit
But if there’s one thing to remember from the time that we’ve met
Just remember she’s not always playing hard to get
