Songs I Write | IV

Girl

All I wanted so badly was to be a woman but I'm just a girl
I was never allowed to but I'm still figuring out the world

I was told to be civil and kind, raised to lie through my teeth
I was holding onto hopes of free skies to rain heavily over me
I was built to stand and sit still ever so patient and quietly
I was skilled to wait my turn even if it was never quite coming

All I wanted so badly was to be a woman but I'm just a girl
I was never allowed to but I'm still figuring out the world

I'm supposed to be nurturing and mature, never bite the hand that keeps you silenced
I'm meant to trust the alpha, nevermind the misuse and abuse and the deafening violence
Of the patriotic warriors and the keepers of peace and serenity
I was taught to be a lady and know my place, raised to lie through my teeth

But I don't know where I am or where to go
Or how to be and how to ever know
I don't know but I wanna search
They can call me wild but I'm just a girl

All I wanted so badly was to be a woman but I'm just a girl
I was never allowed to but I'm still figuring out the world
All I wanted so badly was to be a woman but I'm just a kid
I was never allowed to but I'm still figuring it

But I don't know where I am or where to go
Or how to be and how to ever know
I don't know but I wanna search
They can call me wild but I'm just a girl
I don't know where I am or where to go
Or how to be and how to ever know
I don't know but I wanna search
They can call me wild but I'm just a girl
