Lyrics, music and vocals by Mary & Brianna Ferraro

“PRIZE”

They’ll put her down
In front of everyone
They won’t think twice
Cause they don’t think at all
And they enjoy it, yes they do
You’ll all go home unaffected
She’ll go home thinking she worthless
Won’t tell a soul cause now she believes it

And yes of course you won
There’s 6 of you, she’s a team of one
And what’s the prize anyway
Do you like to see a girl…

Chorus

All torn up inside
Secretly crying at night
Is that your prize, is that your prize
Just a girl wanting more in herself
Hating the hand she’s been dealt
Is that your prize, is that your prize
Verse 2
She don’t know
But she’s truly beautiful
She don’t think that
Cause she feels 2 feet tall
Isn’t that what you wanted all along
Well you knew this would come
She’s broken, finished, done
And what’s the prize anyway?
Do you like to see

Chorus
Bridge
Did you get what you wanted? (Did you get what you wanted)

Do you feel better now? (I hope you feel better now)
Yea what you did, was it worth it? (was it worth it?)
To make her feel so put down
To make her feel so…
