Girls Like Me (From Songland)

I remember that first time I fell in love I've never been the one to be afraid to jump And sometimes it hurts But the world still turns I remember that first sad broken heart And I told myself I wouldn't fall apart So I let it burn That's how you live and learn It ain't always easy But it's gonna be alright It used to be me Hidin' insecurities With a cigarette and a bottle of whiskey I was a girl at home In the dark, all alone Sayin', "Why the hell doesn't he miss me?" We act so tough like it ain't nothin' 'Cause we don't want them to see Here's to the girls like me Fast forward, now your old dreams are gone And you got new priorities You thought you knew what you wanted But you had it all wrong Yeah, it takes a few steps Just to get it all together It might hurt now, but it won't last forever Make those mistakes, that'll make you better Yeah, it used to be me Hidin' insecurities With a cigarette and a bottle of whiskey Yeah, I was the girl at home In the dark, all alone Sayin', "Why the hell doesn't he miss me?" We act so tough like it ain't nothin' 'Cause we don't want them to see Here's to the girls like me Here's to the girls like me Here's to the girls like me Here's to the girls like me Yeah, it takes a few steps just to get it all together Make those mistakes that'll make you better It used to be me Hidin' insecurities With a cigarette and a bottle of whiskey I was the girl at home In the dark, all alone Sayin', "Why doesn't he miss me?"
