What Does It Mean? Lyrics

August 16th of 2012

Stood a little girl, excited to start 4th grade

The air was still, and the sun covered by clouds

She breathed it in with a smile on her face

And as she walked into that classroom

She felt a feeling so unknown

She couldn't quite wrap her head around it

Turns out

She was alone

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

To be alone

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

To be alone? Alone

It's another year and time's still moving slow

She's counting down the days until she's old

And can do whatever the hell that she wants

Just waiting for her story to unfold

But one thing is getting easier

And that is keeping it all in

She just has to please everyone

Make sure the ice is never thin

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

To be alone

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

To be alone? Alone

Everyone keeps telling me to be tough; will I ever be enough

And I just keeping saying to myself: I don't belong here

What if she never learns to love herself

Or never truly learns who she is

Changing based upon everyone else

So no problems ever exist

But what she doesn't know

There aren't two shits that she has to give

People will stay but most will go

She has her whole life to live

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

What does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean, what does it mean

To be alone
