The rules have changed
I'm not the same girl as I used to be
and it's getting better to be stronger
and now the day has died,
when I wore my hatred like a badge of pride
so pinch me if I'm dreaming

so when I saw her, I knew her
I watched her as she pushed the plate away
should I save her
should I get down on my knees and pray

Free her today
send her a message from heaven
she's got so much to say
and she's beautiful
Free her today
send her a message from heaven
before she throws it all away
tell her she's beautiful

It's the cruelest game,
when you can't see eden for all of your shame
and it's just so damn hard getting stronger
and I know now, there's a place inside
and it holds a flame that never ever dies
and the longer it burns, the brighter it shines

so when I saw her, I knew her
I understood the hateful things she'd say
and I spoke to her
I got down on my knees and prayed for her life

Free her today
send her a message from heaven
she's got so much to say
and she's beautiful
Free her today
send her a message from heaven
before she throws it all away
tell her she's beautiful
