🎶 Not My Responsibility

[D#]Do you know me?
Really know me? [Bb]
You have opinions [D#]about my opinions
[Bb]About my music
About my clothes [D#]
About my body
Some people [Bb]hate what I wear
Some people praise it
Some people [D#]use it to shame others
Some people use it to shame me
But I [Bb]feel you watching
Always
And [D#]nothing I do goes unseen
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval [Bb]or your sigh of relief
If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
[D#]Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
Would you [Bb]like me to be quiet?
Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
[D#]Am I my stomach? My hips?
The body I was born with
[Bb]Is it not what you wanted?
If I wear what is comfortable, [D#]I am not a woman
If I shed the layers,[Bb] I'm a slut
Though you've never seen my body, you [D#]still judge it
And judge me for it
Why? [Bb]
We make assumptions about people based on their size
We de[D#]cide who they are
We decide what they're worth
If I wear more, [Bb]if I wear less
Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
Is my [D#]value based only on your perception?
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?⠀
