I'm the girl in the corner with her hair hiding her face.
I'm the girl in the back room with lace around her legs.
I'm the girl standing in the rain
I am crying out, each tear in vain.
I'm the girl with her heart shut up tight.
I'm the girl who's shutting down inside.
I'm the girl who plays with razor blades.
I am the girl without a name.
I'm the girl who's on her own.
I'm here with you, but all alone.
I'm the girl with the world on her shoulders.
I'm the girl who's waiting 'til she's older.
I'm the girl who hasn't eaten yet.
I'm the girl you all have met.
I am the girl with all this pain
Who holds it in and smiles instead.
