Only Your Little Girl

You laugh like nothing changed

I smile and hide the ache

Another night too late

To tell you how I feel

You pull me through the crowd

One hand around my sleeve

Call me your little star

Like I still believe

You never see my eyes

When your fingers touch my hair

I freeze inside the moment

Wishing you would stay there

Every word cuts softly

Every joke feels cruel

You keep me safe beside you

But never break the rules

I do not want forever

As only your little girl

Dancing around your shadow

Lost inside your world

You hold me like family

While my heart falls apart

You never hear the silence

Screaming in the dark

Oh oh

Just look at me once

Oh oh

Like I could be enough

Late drives under streetlights

Your music playing low

You talk about your future

Not knowing what I know

Another girl beside you

Another story starts

And I keep smiling softly

With earthquakes in my heart

Maybe in another life

You would see me differently

Not someone left behind

Not someone safe to keep

I do not want forever

As only your little girl

Dancing around your shadow

Lost inside your world

You hold me like family

While my heart falls apart

You never hear the silence

Screaming in the dark

(Stay close)

Even if it hurts

(One touch)

Makes the whole world blur

(No sleep)

Dreaming endlessly

Of what will never be

I do not want forever

As only your little girl

Fading inside your headlights

Watching your world turn

You smile and call me family

While I break apart

Still hiding every secret

Buried in my heart

Oh oh

You never really knew

Oh oh

I only wanted you
