Singing This Song

October 10, 2025 · Amanda Durocher

I don’t care what you think of me

Or what you label wrong,

I don’t care how I “should” behave

I’ll just keep singing this song.

You’ve called me lots of names

From self-obsessed to withdrawn,

And all the “nasty woman” words

But I’ll keep singing this song.

Cause I tried your funny dance

The one taught to belong,

But I found it very boring

So I’ll keep singing this song.

The price you pay is high

For a mask of looking strong,

Instead just drop the act

And join me in singing this song.

For this song is inside you

It’s been there all along,

You already know the words

So join me in singing this song.
