Should I be ashamed to mention your name?
A little embarrassed at my past actions
And past attempts to justify the obvious truths you unyieldingly deny
I stepped out with confidence and took a deep breath
I am a woman of value, a woman of depth
And what that means, is there's no turning back
I said what I meant, I must leave it like that
Still I couldn't help but to get a little swept and carried away
Not that I believed everything that you say
But no one wants to sleep with their eyes open all of the time
We want to close them at some point
And dream the dreams that rest our minds
Rude awakening, like freezing ice water dumped
It's only cold at first, until your whole body goes numb
Then there's no way of leaving with regards or with finesse
I can only go quickly and try to gather what is left
Because you and I both know this
I am the quest, I am the catch and
a woman of value, and a woman of depth
So I walk, and I strut
And my head is held high
But in silence, in secret
I ask myself Why?
