Standing in front of a fogged-up mirror,
Staring at my reflection,
Singing to myself
With tears in my eyes
And this ache in my chest.
Girl…
I look into my own eyes and I see pain.
I see how damn hard it was
Just to make it here today.
And God knows, it wasn’t easy.
Even if I tried to put it all into words tonight,
I could never explain
That crushing, suffocating feeling
I’ve been carrying all this time.
But somehow I’m still here…
Eeeeeeee… on my own,
Always on my own.
All I ever wanted
Was to hide away
And never come back out.
I was just a little girl,
And I had nobody there for me,
Nobody by my side.
And somehow, I’m still alone,
Still scared I’ll feel this way forever.
Girl…
How many nights did I cry in silence?
How many times did I smile while falling apart?
How much pain did I bury deep inside
Without anybody noticing?
Girl…
I learned way too young
Just how cruel this world can be.
And even when I was hurting,
Even when I was tired as hell,
I still stood my ground.
But somehow I’m still here…
Eeeeeeee… on my own,
Always on my own.
All I ever wanted
Was to hide away
And never come back out.
I was just a little girl,
And I had nobody there for me,
Nobody by my side.
And somehow, I’m still alone,
Still scared I’ll feel this way forever.
Girl…
If I could go back in time,
I’d find you there in the dark,
Wrap my arms around you
And whisper in your ear:
“You’re gonna make it through all of this.
I swear you are.”
Girl…
Even shattered, I stayed.
Even with nobody to hold me, I kept going.
Even when my heart was heavy as hell…
I made it this far.
Yeah…
I made it this far.
And maybe I’m still scared,
Maybe I still feel alone sometimes,
But look at me, girl…
I’m still here.
