little girls Lyrics

I'm sure you meant well

Just got a little ahead of yourself

When you put us down on the lowest shelf

Maybe you did it to soften the damage when we

Naturally fell

Took it to heart, we took all the fault

But we were just kids, we did nothing wrong

I'm sure you had your reasons, your personal demons

For getting high

Instead of fighting for us

Left high and dry

Thinkin' we weren't enough

Little girls

You teach 'em a love that they deserve

You're just a man, but you're half their world

More than a trophy or bows and curls

Little girls

Your lack of love feels like their curse

Nobody half as vulnerable

More than a dime piece

Little girls

Why didn't you feel like we were something to protect?

Or did you go out and forget?

Or am I so up-tight, could it be that simple?

See, I'm tryna be gentle

'Cause I know your psyche is fragile

Don't know how much truth you can handle

Last time I was honest you cried on my bedroom floor

And somehow I

Was the one comforting you

So, I wiped my eyes

And I felt like a fool

Little girls

You teach 'em a love that they deserve

You're just a man, but you're half their world

More than a trophy or bows and curls

Little girls

Your lack of love feels like their curse

Nobody half as vulnerable

More than a dime piece

Little girls

All grown-up

Fall but I don't know how to love

Try but I don't know how to trust

Can you hear my soul

Or am I too emotional?

I really hope you'll hear my call

Remember I'm still your

Little girl
