Don't Kiss Me

What age do you like me the best?
Right before I put you to the test?
Back when I absorbed everything you said?
What age do you like me the best?

Don’t kiss me
My safety should not have to be earned
I was just a baby until you made me into a lesson to be learned

Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me

I want to know, does it make you proud?
In an escalated version of self-consciousness
I wonder, do you see me now?
Do you see me now?

Don’t kiss me
My safety should not have to be earned
I was just a baby until you made me into a lesson to be learned

Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely don’t kiss me
Sometimes my own body, doesn’t feel like my body
But definitely just leave me, to be on my own
