There once was a girl
And she made herself a shell
Wound tight around her body
And she met someone she loved so much
He was her fuse
He kept her in his arms
Not in his pocket or in his drawer
But close to his heart
Where no one could tamper with her

There once was a girl
Who lost her mind
And she lost her fuse
And blew into a million tiny pieces
The shrapnel bit into her skin
Into her heart and the pain was to much
But a boy came along
Than looked like a man
He had a heart big enough for two
Like a jar to hold the broken
He kept her together
And he said he would never let go

There once was a girl
Who found peace after pain
Even though she knew
She could never be the same
She lost her shell
But found her life
And now she lives
A beautiful life
