What a Good Woman Does
Embracing Liberation: What Defines a Good Woman?
Lyrics
I can't carry the weight of this war
I feel overwhelmed by the burden of this conflict.
I can't do it anymore
I cannot endure this any longer.
Everyone's wounded, nobody's won
Everyone is hurt, and there is no clear winner in this situation.
Hear me
Listen to me.
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
Even when you are not around, I still have my own voice.
I can tell the truth about you leaving
I can speak the truth about you leaving.
But that's not what a good woman does
However, that's not what society expects from a good woman.
Don't feel sorry for yourself
Do not pity yourself.
You've got everything you want
You have everything you desired.
Everyone's watching you pick up and run
People are observing as you abandon everything and flee.
To hear me
Listen to me.
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
Even without you close, I still have my own voice.
I can tell the truth about you leaving
I can speak the truth about your departure.
But that's not what a good woman does
However, going against expectations, as a good woman, is not what I do.
Ooh, a good woman does
(Reiteration) Doing what is not expected of a good woman.
That's not what a good woman
(Reiteration) Going against societal expectations.
Ooh, that's not what a good woman does
(Reiteration) Challenging the norms of what is expected from a good woman.
Can't carry the weight of this war
I cannot bear the weight of this conflict.
I won't do it anymore
I refuse to endure it any longer.
Hear me
Listen to me.
I haven't lost my voice without you near me
Even in your absence, I still have my own voice.
I can tell the truth about you leaving
I can speak the truth about your departure.
But that's not what a good woman does
However, going against expectations, as a good woman, is not what I do.
Ooh, a good woman does
(Reiteration) Doing what is not expected of a good woman.
That's not what a good woman
(Reiteration) Going against societal expectations.
Ooh, that's not what a good woman does
(Reiteration) Challenging the norms of what is expected from a good woman.
