Hands Off My Body Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
I believed you
Nothing will ever change till it needs to
That I am the one to blame for the lean-to
See-through point of view I got used to
It was airtight, wasn’t it?
Tied with a ribbon, hiding in plain sight
He kissed my lips, told me lies I was hanged by
You changed my name, I’m done making changes for you
I’m done making changes for you
So if I whisper it in silence and deliver it softly
If I can make it sound godly
Would you get your hands off my body?
If I call for it gently while I’m burning up
Would it be enough?
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
Did I scare you? Should I apologize?
I’m aware truth is terribly terrifying
How dare you pretend to care?
You need to know where I stand, oh
My devotion to the heart of the matter
Will rush like a river drawn to the ocean
Nothing would stand in the wake of this motion
Keep going, I won’t sit still anymore
So if I whisper it in silence and deliver it softly
If I can make it sound godly
Would you get your hands off my body?
If I call for it gently while I’m burning up
Would it be enough?
No, I’m not gonna choke on a thank-you
To a god I don’t pray to
Your holiness haunts me
Would you get your hands off my body?
Keep your blind eyes open
While we gather and grow
Say it again so you know
Get your hands off my body
Even if I whisper silent, deliver it softly
Make it sound godly
Would you get your hands off my body?
I call for it gently, I’m burning up
Would it be enough?
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
Get your hands off my body
