I want to live
I want to learn
Not just sit here and
Let my life burn away like a cigarette
Have I the time
Have I the space
In my life to earn the love of suffragette
Showed me the sun
She showed me the stars
In just one night
I felt like hers for eternity
I wore the chains
I bear the scars
Of love gone wrong
Wrenched from a perfect certainty
I look for some kind of joy
In the way she held me
I look something
In the hell she gave me
