Lyrics
Verse 1
There was a girl with a restless heart
Learning to smile before the tears could start
She knew the sound of footsteps down the hall
Knew when to disappear, knew when not to talk at all
She grew up watching love change its face
Learning that home doesn't always feel like a safe place
So she kept her little dreams beneath her bed
And whispered to the ceiling
all the things she never said
Pre-Chorus
Nobody told her she was worth protecting
Nobody stayed long enough to see
She wasn't difficult, she wasn't broken
She was just a child
trying to be
Chorus
Oh, little girl, where did you go?
You used to dance like nobody knew
You shouldn't have learned to carry the world
With those tiny hands you had to hold it through
And I still hear you underneath my skin
Asking why nobody came running in
I'm sorry I left you there alone
But I'm older now, my love
And I'll take you home
Verse 2
She learned to make a joke when things got heavy
Learned to look pretty when her heart wasn't ready
Maybe that's why she still hates an empty room
'Cause silence has a way
of bringing everything back too soon
She grew into someone who loves too hard
Giving pieces away, calling it a heart
Still hoping somebody would look her in the eyes
And say, “You don't have to be strong tonight.”
Bridge
If I could meet her underneath that old sky
I'd kneel down beside her, wipe the fear from her eyes
I'd tell her, “None of this was ever your fault.”
“You were never too much.”
“You were never not enough.”
Final Chorus
Oh, little girl, I know you're still here
Underneath the woman who learned to hide her fear
And maybe life didn't love you the way it should
But look at you now—
you made it out like you knew you could
So sleep tonight, you don't have to run
You don't have to earn the love of anyone
And if the past comes knocking at the door
I'll hold your hand and tell you—
you don't live there anymore.
Outro
There was a girl I couldn't save back then…
So I became the woman
who finally could.
