She says, "I’m also very understanding and accepting of other people’s positions on the topic because there’s a lot of opinions — and everyone’s matters. ...the more we talk about it and it’s normalized, the more the next generation will never have to come out. It’s so stupid that people have to even come out. The more we talk about it, the less in the future that will have to happen.” ]]> 2022-06-03 15:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/teresagibson/ic2d4k916bksoqx1/wish/2210337306 Quotes teresagibson https://padlet.com/teresagibson/ic2d4k916bksoqx1/wish/2212621742 "...and the juice hits the cuts on my fingers it still doesn't burn as much as the thought of you..."

It's the memory you ignore, but you can't erase
It's the text in the middle of the night you didn't ask for
It can help your career, but at what cost?
Are you holding back something that you're dying to say?

Me, too
Girl, I believe you
Are you losing your mind thinking what will it take
To make somebody listen to you?
Me, too

It's the room full of rumors and everybody starin'
Did they tell you you were asking for it by what you were wearin'?
It's the stains from your makeup and tears on your pillow
It's a piece of yourself that you let go
Do you wanna scream but just can't find the air?

Me, too
Girl, I believe you
Are you losing your mind thinking what will it take
To make somebody listen to you?
Me, too

They say step up and sit down
Shut up and back down
So what's up, yeah, what's up with that?
So we dress up, get felt up
Get shot down, don't speak up
Yeah, what's up, yeah, what's up with that?
Are you holding back something
That you've just been dying to say?

Me, too
Girl, I believe you
Do you know every battle that you've had to face
Is making you bulletproof?
Me, too

Me, too
Girl, I believe you
Do you know every battle that you've had to face
Is making you bulletproof?
Me, too
Girl, I believe you
