Alone


Little girl she sits at home

crying tears on her soft pillow

left alone, feel alone

lost and hopeless 

cant be left alone

 

Little girl its okay

you think this might be the way

because you dont feel okay

dont feel this way

see this way

you're okay

you gotta lift up high and fly away

 

Your friends they take you

sometimes they'll break ya

its the feeling you get when you see they can make you

little girl with the black eyes

smeared makeup ruins your best sight

get choked up when you over cry

just dont over cry

their hurtful words, oh you know they're lies

 

little girl I know you feel alone

your friends all go out but you get stuck at home

maybe it's best that you're home alone

 

little girl with the friends who call you names

behind your back

and you feel alone but your going back

day after day you altercate

change your face 

to fit into some place

 

little girl why do you feel whole

but you then you feel holes

in your heart and soul

and now home alone

wondering why you're alone

stuck in your bedroom alone

crying on your pillow alone

 

little girl keep your chin up high

keep your head up high

smile wide and dry 

all those tears on your eyes

 

little girl your lost and home alone

but remember that you dont stand alone

there's more the world can offer you so

lift your head up now 

see your future now

how you'll be successful without

your friends that shout

those names out loud 

 

because little girl

you will learn that they're at home

they cry alone and  they feel alone

because they hurt inside 

just like you and I

and the problems they face

oh they make them cry

 

little girl you're better than alone

your mind and heart's your home

and remember that you arent alone.

You're going far

you dont need their lies to feel whole

you are whole

believe in yourself and know

there are people that believe in you so

you're not alone.
