girl Lyrics

Take your happiness back home

So you can be alone with all the shitty things you said

Don't even bother asking how my day's been

"I love you"'s and empty phrases

You're trying to make the most out of my hurt

But what's it worth if I meant none to you

I only did the things you told me to

And now I'd say I've barely walked this earth

In your little perfect world

I would wear a skirt and give my hair a twirl

How I would run to you

Or off a cliff just like we used to

Way back when before I found myself

When I was your girl

Always the same old broken shoes to fill

Nice white flats or black high heels

But I was always barefoot for the fun of it

Now I'll find a role that's right for me

And I scream loud so now you'll see

I played the part however you saw fit

From your little perfect world

My hair had grown so long and I wore those curls

But I wouldn't run to you even after all we've been through

From way back when before I found myself

Trashy drugstore makeup I put on to feel the same

I have tried so hard with you but it's always me to blame

For your societal world

Where I could always be that perfect little girl

But in the world that I'd want I'd be my own or none at all

Oh how your empire would fall

Oh how you had made me feel so guilty

Convinced me this is who I was

Sunday night guilt-tripping telling me to stay in touch

But I'm here telling you I'm fine

Don't make the call

Cause I was never your little girl at all
