about

This song is based on the Ramayana, and Nina Paley's animated feminist adaptation of that epic, "Sita Sings The Blues". It's written from the perspective of a modern-day Sita.

lyrics

Cast me out, build the fire
Cast me out, I will not burn
Cast me out, you don’t trust me
And that’s what really hurts

I was young, I knew my duty
I was young, I knew my place
I was young, I just wanted to gaze up at your face
But you sent me away without a word
Now I will find someone who knows my worth

I’ll search for someone who’s loyal and kind
And I’ll cross the ocean on my own this time
And when I find them, they’ll have to prove
that they will be better for me, better than you

Way back when I was happy
Way back when you broke the bow
Way back when things were simple
How little did I know

Let me go to my mother
Let me go, you had your chance
Let me go, too late for regret
After this, I just can’t forget
How rumors turned away your heart
Now we cannot restore what’s torn apart

I’ll search for someone who’s loyal and kind
And I’ll cross the ocean on my own this time
And when I find them, they’ll have to prove
that they will be better for me, better than you

I love you, how could you hurt me?
I trusted you, how could you doubt me?
I need you, how could you leave me?
I waited for you, how could you doubt me?

I loved you, how dare you doubt me...
I loved you, how dare you doubt me!
This is not the way it should end!

Time for me to write my story
Time for me to take my place
Time for me to be the heroine
And start a brand new age today
