One Little Girl
One little girl who heard her father
rip her mother's heart to shreds
one little girl who'll never be
quite right inside her crazy head.
Can't forgive and won't forget
one instant that she hasn't yet
cold as anger, hard as steel
a wish to never ever feel.
One little girl who's incomplete
can never fill that raging hole
will never fit inside the world
can never cleanse her tainted soul.
Never understand these things
birds can't fly with broken wings
and you can't fly with broken dreams
no matter how whole the outside seems.
One little girl who lost her brother
watched her family fall apart
can never look the same again
at what goes on inside her heart.
Cannot trust the things she feels
so tosses them under the wheels
Can't handle love or life today
It's easier to run away.
One little girl who wants to be
as normal as you seem to me.
One little girl who's had enough
of fighting on and being tough
One little girl who hates herself
because she's stuck upon a shelf
inside her mind, inside her soul
because she never can be whole
