She's Come a Long Way

There's a girl in a picture dressed in black Looks kinda familiar, I recognize that Pain in her eyes, a little scared and unsure But it ain't there anymore Cause there's a girl in the mirror With the same sweet face A few more lines, from a few mistakes Miles behind her, and miles to go She's got something to show for it She's been down in the dust Hit her knees but she got back up Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay She's been quiet too long But you can't steal a songbird's song She was drowning in noise Now she's got something to say She's come a long way She's come a long long way She was dying for love looking everywhere Trying to fit circles into squares Settled for less than she ever deserved Hard to believe I used to be her She had a lot to learn She's been down in the dust Hit her knees but she got back up Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay She's been quiet too long But you can't steal a songbird's song She was drowning in noise Now she's got something to say She's come a long way She's come a long long way She's come a long long way But she ain't done yet She's come a long way Got a lot of road left She's come a long way But she ain't done yet She's come a long way She's been down in the dust Hit her knees but she got back up Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay She's been quiet too long But you can't steal a songbird's song She was drowning in noise Now she's got something to say She's come a long way She's come a long long way She's come a long way But she ain't done yet She's come a long way Got a lot of road left She's come a long way But she ain't done yet I've come a long way
