Im Fine by Self Esteem Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can change my mind
I tried to be kind
That doesn't mean I have to hear through everyone who
You told my shit to
Shit I did not consent to
Still I served you 'cause I didn't know how not to
I can change my mind
I tried to be kind
That doesn't mean you get to twist your idea of
Truth and history
Question my complicity
Yeah, you scare me
Does that make you feel manly?
[Chorus]
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
Completely free
[Verse 2]
Kept it all inside myself
'Cause you have no leg to stand on
When you live your life as proudly
And as sexually as I like to be
You took that from me and you used it
But I'll never lose it
[Bridge]
Do you understand the pain you cause
When you see a body just for sport?
I tried to let you down so gently
When I had the right to tell you simply
[Chorus]
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
Completely free
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
Completely free
[Outro: women talking]
Everyday (everyday, everyday)
I have my keys in my hand
This is like.. and it sounds so stupid but it's genuinely something that me and my friends actually do
If we are approached by a group of men we will bark, like dogs
And people always laugh and they're like "Ha ha, that's so funny" (It's actually really good)
But there is... there is nothing that terrifies a man more than a woman that appears completely deranged
I can change my mind
I tried to be kind
That doesn't mean I have to hear through everyone who
You told my shit to
Shit I did not consent to
Still I served you 'cause I didn't know how not to
I can change my mind
I tried to be kind
That doesn't mean you get to twist your idea of
Truth and history
Question my complicity
Yeah, you scare me
Does that make you feel manly?
[Chorus]
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
Completely free
[Verse 2]
Kept it all inside myself
'Cause you have no leg to stand on
When you live your life as proudly
And as sexually as I like to be
You took that from me and you used it
But I'll never lose it
[Bridge]
Do you understand the pain you cause
When you see a body just for sport?
I tried to let you down so gently
When I had the right to tell you simply
[Chorus]
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
Completely free
No, not me
I won't rein in my
Need to be
