Tethered

She's younger than she looks But she's old enough to know The nature of this world And so the story goes She's dressed up like her friends But she's prettier than them The whole room turns to look Like something from a book Then speech becomes a slur She's talking to some creep Uncomfortable as hell But too polite to leave Then lines begin to blur There's something in her drink She stumbles to his car And no one says a thing Oh my love, you're so young Some might say she's able to get back her normal life When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life Down the rabbit hole She wakes up in his bed Confused about her heart And bruised between her legs But she's too afraid to leave Or bite the hand that hits She tells herself it's love Then plays along with it Oh my friend, you're still young Some might say she's able to get back her normal life When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life Oh, oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh) Run (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh) Abused at seventeen Some unrelenting creep The father of her son Some might say she's able to get back her normal life When you love someone unwillingly, you leave yourself behind You're hiding in the bathroom and you pray for better times Say you're gonna leave him there and find a better life Find a better life Find a better life
