Little Girl

Little girl dancing real slowl in the kitchen Wondering if she could remember existing Before her troubled mind Controlled all she could find Sometimes her vision gets fogged up with what if's Shot in the dark, hide her heart from emotions Trying to face the sun And she will cycle on How is the mind in control of the heart? She could ask herself a million times How is the heart where the hatred starts? She could see but wished her eyes was blind Hold her! She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety And asking to hold her She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety Little girl painting a world only she knows Wondering if after dark there could be heroes Block out the scary thoughts Protect her only heart Sometimes she misses the light through her window What if this mindset is all only what she knows Maybe it shines for her When she can claim her worth How is the mind in control of the heart? She could ask herself a million times How is the heart where the hatred starts? She could see but wished her eyes was blind Hold her! She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety And asking to hold her She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety She's got time, it's just a ride Not the first to stand in line Not the last to stumble asking why (oh why) She'll be strong There's nothing wrong Fear is just a way to solve Holding back where her heart belongs Hold her! She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety And asking to hold her She's slipping, and drowning She's breathing But breaths could be deeper She's empty, looking for safety
