Like this girl

Lose yourself to find

By Laura ToddPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Everything I thought I was is torn to tatters (shreds) 

(fragments) 

You ripped apart my world

I don't know how I still stand, now nothing matters (you changed what matters) (or why it matters) (don't know what matters) (as if it matters) 

(but) I think I like this girl

I think I like this girl

The one acting out instead of hopin'

Hell yeah, I like this girl 

Thought you broke me down

You broke me open

Come on, come at me, tear me down

Learn who I am at the ground 

Level 

That persona I built up wasn't for me

Pull my insides out and let the whole world see

I tried to be the girl that you could love

I let you dress me up and call me yours 

You showed yourself when push came down to shove

You'd rather walk right out than open doors

I put on all the masks that would match yours

I built my walls with space enough for two

I took your side in all your made-up wars

So now who's gonna tell me what to do 

Good luck and farewell and all those lies

May you find your way, follow your bliss

You stay on the low road, I will rise

And you will never find a girl like this 

like this girl

The one acting out instead of hopin'

Hell yeah, I like this girl

Thought you broke me down

You broke me open

heartbreak
