Don't like being told what to do
My life choices aren't up to you
Don't get in my way and you won't get hurt
This game we're inside has rules I devised
Cause I'm Five By Five
This ain't a race but if it was I'd move at a pace you'd never keep up
I am The Kill, I am a Fire, I am a woman of Skill
I'm Five By Five
My moral compass points to South
So don't get holier than thou
A quick hesitation gives me elevation
The ground's consecration a brief demonstration
Of the concentration of adrenaline to get me high
This ain't a race because if it was I'd move at a pace you'd never keep up
I've got wicked skills, I can hold my own
I've never needed help to get my shit done
I am not ashamed of what my life is
I won't be constrained
I am not your "Miss"
I am The Kill, I am On Fire,
I am a Woman Of Means
I'm Five By Five
I'm Five By Five

This isn't going how I planned it
I was supposed to be on top of the world
I demanded it
I wanted the things I hate to stop
This isn't going how I planned it
I'd had enough hiding my thoughts
Of being told I don't understand it
I damn well knew I knew enough
But now there is one thing that I don't understand
He's not hurting who he's supposed to be hurting
He's not supposed to be hurting me
This is going how he said it would
He promised to give me what I want
He'd send them all back where they came from
He'd keep the wolf from at our door
But this now feels like a betrayal
If this is a lie then what else?
Did he lie on the campaign trail?
Can he keep the wolf at bay at all?
I don't think so
He's not hurting who he's supposed to be hurting
He's not supposed to be hurting me
Oh god.
Is he the wolf?

"Sunday's not a day for doing things that exert any kind of energy from me"
She said with a grin that told me everything, or at least, everything she wanted me to see.
"Saturday's my day, in fact, some fridays as well.
I'd get up to all sort of things you wont believe!"
With this she winked and reached across the table to the photo album that she had placed by her cup of tea
"They used to say I was a Wild One, A Harridan, A Scarlet Woman
And Other Things that people call girls they can't control.
But I never gave in to them. I know my worth it's more than theirs.
I've got one life, I wont sit still, I won't live quietly"
"My Daughter printed all these out but these are just some pictures now
They don't live up to the memories.
This one here's my twenty first,
I'm smashed and eating a currywurst from that place down by the Baltic Fleet."
"They used to say I was a Wild One, A Harridan, A Scarlet Woman
And Other Things that people call girls they can't control.
But I never gave in to them. I know my worth it's more than theirs.
I've got one life, I wont sit still, I won't live quietly"
"And if I'm reaching my time now, I'll leave no rack behind.
Mistakes I've made, they made me me, I wont live quietly.
Should you think of me in times to come remember me this way.
I was out, I was proud, I lived life loud, I won't live quietly.
I Won't Live Quietly"

Tell me a story
Make it a good one
Make it "Happy Ever After"
Tell me my future
But Lie to me
Make it "Happy Ever After"
If it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Then why does a broken heart have scars that never quite heal?
Does it feel right to keep yourself closed off to everyone around?
You can't get hurt if you never allow yourself to feel.
Give me a reason for going outside
Make it fun and full of laughter
That I'll turn to disaster
So tell me a story
Hope in fiction
That it's "Happy Ever After"
If it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all
Then why does a broken heart have scars that never quite heal?
Does it feel right to keep yourself closed off to everyone around?
You can't get hurt if you never allow yourself to feel.
Love Can Only End In Broken Hearts.
