Just A Girl

Everything is eating me alive

Yet I never die

There's nothing left over

I can't fill myself

I'm empty

And hollow

Can't you help me out?

I feel as though nothing is good enough

I stand to tall

I fall to short

I can't earn your love

And I can't buy your time

Nothing adds up

So I start subtracting

But I've gotten into the negatives

And I can't develop without the darkness

Stuck on repeat

Forever, the three steps

I can't break free

Everything is killing me

Everything is beating me

I feel my blood pumping through my veins

I feel every ache, every pain

Nothing makes it all okay

Am I worth fighting for?

Would you walk a mile for me?

I'm just a girl

Slowly dying

But I could bring you back to life

I keep waiting on an apology

That will never come my way

'Im sorry' it's really not so hard to say

Everything is eating me alive

And I'm not sure what parts of me are left

I spend my nights weeping

I spend my days pretending

And I'm spent

I'm broke

There's nothing left to fill me

I'm just a girl

Slowly dying

But I could bring you back to life...
