Sullen Girl Lyrics

Cover art for Sullen Girl lyrics by Fiona Apple

yeah i just hate it when people think this is a song about a boy breaking her heart or something and that the line "he washed my shore and he took my pearl And left and empty shell of me" is some metaphor for that. its not. its about rape. i think people can't truly understand this song unless they have been in a situation like she was.
