I can turn my gaze away
Command my tongue to never take your name
Be your ***** secret
For as long as you want.
I can lay my eyes on the roads,
Waiting for the day you knock my door,
I can manage not to bait an eye
Every time you go off to her when we fight.
be your anything
But I'm only a girl,
There is only so far I can go,
I'm only a girl,
Who made a mistake of falling in love with you.
I'm only a girl,
So desperately in love,
But I still bleed,
From your unpredictable blows.
I'm only a girl,
Looking at you like you're the **** sun,
But it is still not enough.
I can play pretend,
Tell my friend it's okay,
The marks on my arms, are nothing
I just tripped, a time too many
Incidentally that is also where your hands held me.
I can take the guilt,
I can drown my voice,
I can be your machine,
Aligning my thoughts with what you wish me to be
I can rust my mind, cause what I think is never right,
I can turn deaf and dumb
Be a shiny object you show off to your friends
If that is all it will take
For you to stop inflicting pain,
For you to realise I'm just a human
Because I'm only a girl,
And I lash out and scream,
In hope to get through to you,
Or anyone.
Because I'm only a girl,
On this sinking ship called hope.
A silly girl who has not yet realised
No one else can fix you up
