There once was a girl, who held your hand, who laughed at your jokes, who kissed your bruises. There once was a girl, who sang as you drove, who fought on your side, who held you as you slept. There once was a girl, who forgave twenty times over, who lost herself so that you could find your way, who sacrificed dignity for love. There once was a girl, who took on tigers and lions, who hid her wounds as best she could, who gave up her life for you. There once was a girl, who no longer has a hand to hold, who no longer laughs, who no longer kisses. A girl who no longer sings, who no longer fights, who no longer has anyone to hold. There once was a girl, but no more. Only the empty shell of memories.

There Once Was A Girl
There once was a girl, who held your hand, who laughed at your jokes, who kissed your bruises. There once was a girl, who sang as you drove, who fought on your side, who held you as you slept. There once was a girl, who forgave twenty times over, who lost herself so that you could find your way, who sacrificed dignity for love. There once was a girl, who took on tigers and lions, who hid her wounds as best she could, who gave up her life for you. There once was a girl, who no longer has a hand to hold, who no longer laughs, who no longer kisses. A girl who no longer sings, who no longer fights, who no longer has anyone to hold. There once was a girl, but no more. Only the empty shell of memories.
