Exactly, she’s chosen not to be a victim.
I get the idea she wants to make lemonade out of lemons. That she wants to overcome her past.
But to be “grateful”?
She doesn’t have to live like a refugee.
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon.
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
Tied up, taken away, and held for ransom
