I will soothe your shattered little heart
And I will love all the worst parts
I will hold your pain in my mouth
And I will speak until the words can come out
Of you
You have taught me what it is to care
You have given so much more than what’s fair
You reeled me in when I was overboard
A long time ago you stopped keeping score
Keeping score
I will be your pirate queen
I will make sure you are seen
I will hold the very best parts of you
To the light
I will be your pirate queen
I will sail in unnamed seas
I will carve a place for you and me
I will challenge anyone who tries to break us
We will leave those doubters in our wake
In our wake
I will be your pirate queen
I will make sure you are seen
I will hold the very best parts of you
To the light
I will be your pirate queen
And when it comes down to the wire
When you’re denied for being true
I will fly my Freak Flag higher and higher and higher
So you can wave yours too
I will be your pirate queen
I will make sure you are seen
And I will hold the very best parts of you
To the light
I will be your pirate queen
