Rachael
She Wants Revenge Lyrics

There's a poem that she wrote and hid under the mattress,
She has a secret poem that she wrote and hid under the bed.

And if you find it please leave it alone.
She doesn't want anyone to find it and read it.

With a picture she took of a girl on the subway,
She has a picture of a girl she saw on the subway.

With orange barrettes and the saddest face she's ever known.
The girl in the picture had orange barrettes and looked very sad.

As Rachael starts to wonder was it hers to begin with,
She is starting to question if the memories and emotions in the poem and picture are really hers.

Or was the memory from someone else's sleep.
She wonders if the memories and emotions belong to someone else entirely.

Cause there's a hole in her heart that still harbors a question,
She has a deep, unresolved question that is leaving her feeling incomplete and empty inside.

Whose answer just might break it so she's hanging on.
The answer to her question could be very painful and lead to an emotional breakdown, but she's still holding on to hope.

At least it's her to keep.
The poem and picture are the only things she has left that feel uniquely hers.

So I asked her
The artist is engaging Rachael in conversation.

"What if this does not belong to you,
The singer is posing a hypothetical scenario to Rachael where the emotions and memories in the poem and picture are not hers.

And all these things you thought were true
All the things Rachael believed to be true about herself and her past might not be real.

Turned out to just be someone else's lies."
These things could be lies from someone else's perspective.

Baby this does not belong to you,
The singer repeats the message that the poem and picture may not belong to Rachael.

This does not belong to you,
The poem and picture may not be a part of Rachael's true identity.

This does not belong to you.
The artist repeats the reminder that these artifacts may not really belong to Rachael.

There's a fleck in her eye that no one ever noticed,
Rachael has a small birthmark in her eye that no one has ever mentioned before.

A pretty birthmark for such a beautiful face.
Despite the birthmark, Rachael is still considered beautiful.

All the men from her past seem to have left her abandoned,
All the men who have been important in Rachael's life have left her feeling alone and unsupported.

I guess there's some things that you can never erase.
Some experiences and memories are too painful to forget or move past.

I've seen her play with her hair in a moment of tension,
The artist has observed Rachael's behavior when she's feeling anxious or nervous.

I've seen her with her guard down ready to cry.
The artist has also seen Rachael in a vulnerable and emotional state.

But there's a hole in her heart that still harbors the question,
Even when Rachael seems okay on the outside, she still has a deep unanswered question that is affecting her emotional well-being.

Whose answer just might break it, still she's hanging on,
Rachael knows that the answer to her question could be devastating, but she's still persevering and hoping for the best.

Cause no one wants to die.
Everyone wants to live and find happiness, even when things feel uncertain and difficult.

Then she asked me
Rachael is now the one asking the questions.

"What if this does not belong to you,
Rachael is posing the same hypothetical scenario back to the singer.

And all the things you thought were true
All the things the artist believed to be true about themselves may not be real.

Turned out to just be someone else's lies."
These things could be lies from someone else's perspective.

Cause baby this does not belong to you,
Rachael is reminding the singer that the poem and picture may not belong to them either.

This does not belong to you,
The singer may not truly know themselves or their past.

This does not belong to you.
Rachael is repeating the message that neither of them may truly own their memories or emotions.
