Not My Responsibility

[Intro] Am  Em  Am  Em  Am

Em
Do you know me?
               Am
Really know me?
                  Em
You have opinions about my opinions
Am
About my music
                 Em
About my clothes

About my body
            Am
Some people hate what I wear

Some people praise it
            Em
Some people use it to shame others

Some people use it to shame me
      Am
But I feel you watching

Always

    Em
And nothing I do goes unseen

So while I feel your stares, your 
disapproval
Am
Or your sigh of relief

If I lived by them, I'd never be 
able to move
Em
Would you like me to be smaller

Weaker, softer, taller?
          Am
Would you like me to be quiet?

Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my
 chest?
Em
Am I my stomach? My hips?

The body I was born with
Am
Is it not what you wanted?
                             Em
If I wear what is comfortable, I am 
not a woman
                    Am
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut

Though you've never seen my body
    Em
You still judge it

And judge me for it
    Am
Why?

We make assumptions about people

Based on their size
     Em
We decide who they are

We decide what they're worth
              Am
If I wear more, if I wear less

Who decides what that makes me, what
 that means?
      Em
Is my value based only on your 
perception?

Or is your opinion of me not my 
responsibility?
