For Ruby.

Never seen someone make pink so pretty
Play make-up and dresses litter the floor
Smile's chasing her cheeks to her eyebrows
We'll laugh until our tummies get sore
Only five years old and she's so nervous
Daddy blows out candles and he sweats
Too young to understand this birthday
Will be the best gift daddy ever gets

She said her body held a monster
And she needs help tryna fight it
And she knew it when he crossed her
That it was wrong but she could right it
And she took my hand

And I said "please put up your fists
Put on a smile and blow them a kiss
Cause darling, you're
Nothing but brave and I know
That you can be saved
We're gonna chase down the monster
We're gonna chase down the monster

Glitter painted toenails and she stands tall
Says "mama, Santa's coming soon"
Mama laughs and chokes the tears
Back, says "baby girl, he's coming just
For you"

Only five years old and she's
So precious, sings to every song
On the radio
Too young to understand that this one
Was written just for Ruby cause I know

She said her body held a monster
And she needs help tryna fight it
And she knew it when he crossed her
That it was wrong but she could right it
And she took my hand

So darling don't you give up
Go and put your chin up
Show 'em that you're strong enough
When it gets rough to last a second round

Darling please, put up your fists
Out on a smile and blow them a kiss
Cause darling you're nothing but brave
And I know, that you can be saved
Put up your fists, put on a smile
And blow them a kiss
Cause Ruby, you're nothing but brave
Oh, and I know that you can be saved
We're gonna chase down the monster
Yeah, we can chase down the monster
We're gonna chase down the monster
Yeah, we can chase down the monster
We're gonna chase down the monster
