The little girl
With a soul so sweet
Never did any wrong
That you could see
Your little girl
With her soul on fire
Pull up her sleeve
And call her a liar
You can’t see the sadness
She hides deep inside
Like she can’t see her light
Or how it shines
The little girl
With a soul so sweet
Never did any wrong
To anybody
Else, besides herself
Pull up her sleeve
And see
How the good do bleed
Show me what you feel
And show me what you mean
Show me because sometimes
I put too much into how things seem
Tell me what you know
And tell me what you think
So I don’t have to guess
I make the worst of everything
Prove that you care
Or even that you don’t
One thing I cannot stand
Is staying in limbo
Forever of the edge
Of maybe, maybe not
The fear of never knowing
If it is, or if not
So won’t you just tell me
What you know and what you think
So I can put an end
To my constant questioning
Why do I always feel so dead
I get so lost inside my head
Why can’t I connect
I’d rather just stay in bed
I don’t want to eat
Or work
Or see my friends
Why do I always feel so dead
An empty heart and air filled head
Why do I feel so dead
I’m always meant to wait
While someone else
Decides my fate
I’m always told to stay
Maybe they’ll want me someday
And maybe they won’t
They’ll walk away unscathed
Leaving my heart broke
And I’m sure I’ll apologize
For wasting all their time
But what about mine?
You say you can’t
Handle this
Can’t handle me
Because one day
You’ll have to leave
You can’t get attached
For fear of getting stuck
You’re so glad
We’ve never fucked
You won’t hold my hand
But you’ll kiss me in the dark
Cuddle up until
You’ve got a grip on my heart
–
I know you say
You’ll have to leave one day
But what about me
I know you can’t
Get attached
Because of feelings
You might have
Should I sit here
While you make up you mind
Deciding if being with me
Would be fine
Let you waste
All of my time
I guess that’s fine
You say you want this
But you don’t know
So maybe it should be me
Who decides if you go
I get so close to
Breaking my shell
Burning my walls
Letting you in
But then you have me
Mixing up cement again
I try to reach out
But you slap my hand
Tell me you know me
Know exactly how I am
I can’t help you
So you’ll help yourself
But can’t you see
It’s you who
Shuts me out
Turns me down
Slams the door in my face
But that’s how I am
At the end of the day
At least you won’t hold it against me
Or so you say
