August

Pretty child chasing joy Thought nobody loved her but that boy But he didn't love her right Left her with a reckless hand Swore she'd never trust a man No matter what it felt like That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out Even though It's August now She took a while to tell her story Afraid it didn't have much glory But oh how we all longed to hear She was looking for a way to say But she kept looking at the scars that stayed Praying someday they'd disappear That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out That's why she's Wearing long sleeves going out Even though It's August now I tore every mask down Replaced them with crowns And reminded her that she was brave Put an end to the great lies Inside of a great mind She wasn't born to be a slave And that's why she's dancing so free Going out That's why she's dancing so free Going out That's why she ditched the long sleeves Going out Even though It's August now Oh Even though It's August now
