Текст Chris Crocker – 2007

You don’t gotta be a pop star to know it’s hard
You can watch from afar and see a breaking heart
That damn spotlight will suck you dry
All the parasites and all their lies

Y’all saw a robot
I saw a lost girl
So I stood up and told the world

Back in 2007
That’s when I picked up my camera
And I told ’em, told ’em
Told ’em to leave you alone
‘Cause I didn’t wanna see you fall
That’s when I bared my mascara
And that’s when I told America
To leave you alone
‘Cause I didn’t wanna see you fall

You don’t gotta be a feminist like me to see
She was torn down for being free
People wonder if I was serious
The same year of my mom’s addiction

Y’all saw a robot
I saw a lost girl
So I stood up and told the world

Back in 2007
That’s when I picked up my camera
And I told ’em, told ’em
Told ’em to leave you alone
‘Cause I didn’t wanna see you fall
That’s when I bared my mascara
And that’s when I told America

40 million voices in my head
I can’t imagine what she felt
3 words and 8 years later
No one can forget
But I took a stand
Yeah, I took a stand

‘Cause I didn’t wanna see you fall
That’s when I bared my mascara
And that’s when I told America
To leave you alone
‘Cause I didn’t wanna see you fall
