Look close now
Her eyes are wet
But she's just a girl
One day she'll forget
What happened to her?
She used to smile.
But she's just a girl
It might take awhile.
What's that on her arm?
Scars? Bruises? Blood?
But she's just a girl.
It's all in her head.
Why's she gone quiet?
She used to be loud
Well, she's just a girl
So I guess it's allowed.
I should give her a call
I have nothing to do
And she's just a girl
So she's useless too.
"I can't take the time off
It's just too far to go."
And you're just a girl
You should already know.
Was I just a mistake?
Why am I always forgotten?
Because I'm just a girl
I'm toxic. I'm rotten.
"No, you're wrong, kiddo.
It's all in your mind."
No, I'm just a girl
the one you left behind.
