lyrics

Free To Be Frida

I wake up in the mornin‘ feelin’ awful
Pain this bad should be unlawful
I can’t get myself out of bed
I wish I was already dead

[CHORUS]
Still they say I’m lucky to stay
In my PJs while I play
I’m free to be the Frida of
the twenty-first century they love

This pain is killin’ me, yet I’m still alive
My body’s illin’ me, yet I still survive
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
But not dyin’ takes much longer

CHORUS

I think I could relax
If this pain got off my back
But my back’s about to crack
And pain meds don’t do jack
My body’s always aching
Stomach’s always quaking
You can’t tell because I’m faking
But inside my heart is breaking
It’s hard for me to focus
‘Cause this pain is so ferocious
And yet even at my lowest
You’re still sleeping, I’m the wokest
I’m trying to be nice
But don’t try my patience twice
There’s a knife in my side
I can’t take your shit besides

How could something so pretty be so unhappy?
I may look pretty, but pain feels ugly
If Frida was here, I bet she would say
“I don’t want to live another day“

So please don’t say I’m lucky to stay
In my PJs while I play
It’s not easy to be the Frida of
the twenty-first century you love
