[Verse 1]
What about them scares you so much?
My standing there threatens your standing too
No longer yearn to be gentle and pure and sweet
Not intimidating yet sure

[Verse 2]
If I lived the way you did
I wouldn't be here today
You only get to say these words because we enabled it
You only get to speak this way because we once stood for it

[Verse 3]
You will raise your voice and talk aloud
But once you didn't have a voice at all
If you think you're the only one in this self-made world of yours

[Outro]
So long, my old friend
You were only a casualty in my cleaning house again
You were only a casualty in my cleaning up again
