Pretty Little Girl

I know it didn't make sense,

and yeah, I know it didn't fit

I only said it to make you smile;

to stop you from being so hostile.

-

I don't know why, but I need to fix you

So don't fight me, and we'll undo

The damage half-hidden under hooded eyes

This brokeness caused by your disguise

-

Pretty little girl

with her head all in a whirl

Asking time

to stop leaving her behind

-

Put down that knife and follow me

You may be doubtful, but I disagree

I'll show you holy blood instead of your own

and maybe you'll stop feeling so alone

-

SHUT UP, they say, BACK OFF FROM ME

Those thoughts hate what i'm trying

But I'll hold your life together with my own hands

Until you finally choose to understand

-

Pretty little girl

with her head all in a whirl

Asking time

to stop leaving her behind

-

This life of yours you call your own

Is not yours to scatter and roam

It was bought, and gladly so

By a man who has so much love to show

-

Now that you know, does it change anything?

Will you still let that ghastly sin ring?

Or will you stand up for once and show the world

That you are more than just the typical girl

because you are a

Pretty little girl

with her head all in a whirl

Thanking time

for a glimpse of the sublime
