Silly Little Girl
[EDNA]
I’ll call. They’ll come
And in an hour my whole life will be… done
Forever I’ll become
‘That silly little girl’
You’ll tell them… what I did
You’ll tell them who I am
But you’ll never have known me
And the whole world will only
Ever see me as just
‘That silly little girl’
But…
You. Said
You loved me
In my headphones
In the lonely black
You. Said
You loved me
And I—
I wanted everything to change
There wasn’t one thing that I’d keep
I can’t have any of it now
My life is just a memory
And thе saddest part is not
That you can’t love me
It’s that I lеt you contain
All I thought that I could be
But that was every story
I’d ever been told
Unless I was half of someone else
I could never be whole
And you don’t get it
Cause in your world
No one’s ever sold you lies
Made just for silly little girls
When you said
You loved me
Held my hand
Through the lonely black
You. Said
You loved me
And I—
I loved you back
Tell Brianna that she’s beautiful
In ways she isn’t counting
Tell Jules she’s so powerful
In ways she isn’t trying to be
Tell my mum she was better
Than I ever let her believe
That I wish I thanked her
For all she’s given me
Don’t waste the freedom that you have
Don’t think you don’t have a choice
The words that you sing matter
Choose how you use your voice
Don’t tell us that we’re pretty
Like it’s the only thing to be
You don’t know what it’s like
You don’t know how to see
You’ll never know what it’s like to be
Told you’re just a ‘silly little girl’
