It's the way you made me feel like nothing at all You're making yourself big by making us small And it's not the way you said it it's the things you say So i'm not complaining that things didn't go my way It's the way you made me feel like nothing at all You're saying my best friend should just go back home My younger sisters can't just walk home alone And it's not the way you said it it's the things you said So i'm not being dramatic when I stay in bed It's the way you made them feel like nothing at all It's to everyone who's different down in rural Tennessee Having half the nation say you can't be what you want to be It's the way you made us feel like nothing at all.
