girl

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
