I'm Your Little Girl

(Verse 1)

I know I shouldn't but I listened when they said I can't

Now I'm here stuck in quicksand a life I didn't plan

Twenty-one, lost in a maze each turn feels the same

Searching for a light a flicker in this never-ending game

(Chorus)

I look in the mirror what do I see?

A ghost of potential a faded memory

When I see my blue eyes

I see my mother and her mistakes

When I see the curls in my hair

I see my father and his pain

(Verse 2)

I'm the product of two people who couldn't love

A broken equation pushed and shoved

I'm your little girl the one you should have adored

But instead I'm a burden a ship you've ignored

I'm supposed to be your whole world your shining star

Not an unnecessary chore leaving emotional scars

(Chorus)

I look in the mirror what do I see?

A ghost of potential a faded memory

When I see my blue eyes

I see my mother and her mistakes

When I see the curls in my hair

I see my father and his pain

(Bridge)

Is there a way out of this endless night?

Can I reshape the stars find my own light?

Can I rewrite DNA's strand

Erase the flaws with a wave of my hand

(Chorus)

I look in the mirror what do I see?

A ghost of potential a faded memory

When I see my blue eyes

I see my mother and her mistakes

When I see the curls in my hair

I see my father and his pain
