The Girl who once lived Lyrics

I kept the flashbacks the nightmares the screaming from that fateful night

Kept it forgotten never told just learnt to live with the stain

Pain marks from when he painted me touched kissed gropped with no consent

I never felt so unclean

Who will believe me Who will believe this

What's a girl to do when her whole world turns upside down

I know I have to do the work it all relies on me

To save the little things of what is left of me

Trying to be kinder to the girl who once lived through it all

But the man in the back shot to kill

I died but then he'll live

The ropes that bind me are way too strong for these hands to ever know freedom

He shows up in my dreams wrapped up in costumes

I don't understand just to entertain

And its a screaming war between what he did and if it really ever happened to me

This fight will either break me or then I am alive

I know I have to do the work it all relies on me

To save the little things of what is left of me

Trying to be kinder to the girl who once lived through it all

But the man in the back shot to kill

I died but then he'll live

So the story goes he dances around my tears

Claps the loudest on my fears

What a mockery they made me While I stood

Naked in the presence of all that judged me

The light in the girl who lived died While he fled the scene of crime

Mine knows no peace just the image of the man in the back
