I wrote another song. Weird, right? I mean, I'm not a songwriter. But I am a writer so I suppose songs happening isn't that strange.
This one was inspired by the #MeToo movement. Quite different from my last song (Sexy Daydreams, My Life Is Awesome) which was inspired by me loving and celebrating every little thing about my life. Yet, it's also quite the same since both songs were inspired by noticing things in my life.
All lives are filled with all kinds of songs, I suppose.
Anyway, here is a video of me singing my new one.
And here are the lyrics:
Alibi
written by Tsara Shelton
I was sleeping
when he came in
he was touching
I was frightened
Why do I cry
when it's not my
crime, I am my own
alibi
I was drinking
he was driving
lying, trying
to keep me quiet
Why do I cry
when it's not my
crime, I am my own
alibi
He was kindly
saying "no, please"
I was pushing
hardly listening
Why do I cry
when it is my
crime, I am my own
alibi
They were growing
I am teaching
wanting, needing
to do this right
Why do I cry
when it is my
crime, I am my own
alibi
Why do I cry
while I do try
to stop this crime
I'm my alibi
My own
alibi
