[Verse 1]
Nina wakes
Wash’ her face
And makes a breakfast for four
Same old walls, same new day
She doesn’t even think of getting more

[Pre-Chorus]
Only silence is fulfilling the night
Reminds her of a young girl
Saying how she’s afraid of

[Chorus]
Waking up as a mother
Next to a man she can’t stand
Forgetting about my body
Paying bills and getting paid
It’s the easiest way to follow
Choice I’m expected to make
But I am too afraid to lose
My 17-teen year old soul

[Verse 2]
Trapped by escaping, grew old while young
Just watching it all passing by
Tens of years later, still in the same place
Waiting for mom to come back

[Pre-Chorus]
Only silence is fulfilling the night
Reminds her of a young girl
Saying how she’s afraid of

[Chorus]
Waking up as a mother
Next to a man she can’t stand
Forgetting about my body
Paying bills and getting paid
It’s the easiest way to follow
Choice I’m expected to make
But I am too afraid to lose
My 17-teen year old soul

[Bridge]
There are thousand lives like mine
Grew old by the age of nine
No voice, constant lack
Locked away in white houses

[Chorus]
Waking up as a mother
Next to a man she can’t stand
Forgetting about my body
Paying bills and getting paid
It’s the easiest way to follow
Choice I’m expected to make
But I am too afraid to lose
My 17-teen year old soul
