I have never belonged to anyone, not from the very start

I thought i belonged to my mother
Until I found out she only wanted my father and
He was already a million miles away

I might have belonged to a stranger
But he didn’t get very far
by the time the police came

I might have belonged to my grandfather
But eventually people die, so after awhile I couldn’t stay

I might have belonged to a group of us girls, but they changed their minds in the 7th grade,

so

I just kept walking and pulling from that violent mob,
until they let me go

I thought I belonged to someone who loved me, but every time I was quite wrong

Because you see,
I have never belonged to anyone.

Not you,

Not them,

Not me.
