Just a Girl with Just a Name
Standing over the broken edge
Ready to fall right off the ledge
And don't you know, it never stops
Trying to beat the ticking clocks
And try and try through our lives
Working with mistaken pride
The walls are blank, unfilled pages
The corners withering as it ages
Vacant words showing joys to bring
But I'm too busy with my own things
The sense of regret, forever haunting
Places of my heart, never so daunting
Gasping for air, trying to breathe
While being pulled from underneath
But let them pull and rip the seams
Refusing to realize what it means
To want to love but can only hate
Being crushed by all the weight
Of some other world, but a world the same
But I'm just a girl with just a name
My mind wonders off from time to time
Convincing myself that all is fine
Wishing enduringly to be certain
To live in hell or die in heaven
The world a blur of black and white
'Cause I never saw much of the light
And I guess I can say that I am blessed
For others have a whole lot less
But I don't get it, I'm not asking much
But sometimes it's hard to see as such
So please, if I can have that kind of luck
Please find someone to pick them up
The pieces of me, falling down
I was lost, can I be found?
Watching butterflies, fly towards the sun
I walk on by, wondering what I'll become
Time to remember it's never too late,
Time for someone to lift that weight
Of some other world, but a world the same
But I'm just one girl with just one name
No longer staring at blank walls
I took a chance, and I took a fall
I took off fast and gracefully
Yes, I was blind but now I see
I've learned to color outside the lines
'Cause things in life can't be defined
Let's all unite, let's all collate
Work together and suppress the weight
Of some other world, but a world the same
And it's a world that we'll attempt to tame
But I'm still me, and I'm still whole
And no matter what, I have my soul
So I've given you my precious secret
So please don't leave, always keep it
Tuck it safely deep in your pocket
Keep the key and be sure to lock it
And maybe someday, far long ago
The day the sun refuses to glow
And when the stars decline to shine
You'll know you'll have a thing of mine
