Her family is crazy and the little girl runs wild
One older sisters and a boy who's 17 years old
She is old enough to see the way it's going
Somewhere the birds are singing
But for now she will not be alone

She needs her lover, but she takes a boy
This boy was not a friend, he shows no friendship
This boy just waited around to play
But he played too serious, he plays too rough

How can you expect her to understand
The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
she is just a little girl inside
But the dying little girl inside this woman is questioning her once upon a times

She is running too early in this loveless world
To young but she found what she needed in the arms of an older boy
She's got a couple things to hide from mother
She hopes she'll understand, But she hopes she'll change

How can you expect a child to understand
The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
She is just a little girl
A world she cannot hope to conquer,
Insecurities that fester in her mind
She is just a little girl inside
A bad choice, her fault, and no way out, she'll not blame
All guilt, tears, no cure, but she says no crime
She is just a little girl inside
The dying little girl inside this woman is questioning
Her once upon a time

The girl will be a strong woman--but for now she is getting weaker
She carries her shame inside
Her parents stay away and face nothing
They are blindly wishing for a happy ending

How can you expect a child to understand
The sickness of a world whose eyes are blind?
She was once a little girl
A world she cannot hope to conquer,
Insecurities that fester in her mind
She was once a little girl
A choice, a fault, and no way out, will not blame....

The dying little girl inside this young woman is questioning
her once upon a time
But she was once just a little girl
