[Hooray for little tiny revisions!]
You're running toward anything but reminders
Because that's all this house is
Picture frames and calling names
And your family's judgmental glances
At your child that will always be
The one that should have never been
Don't close your eyes and let her go
She's a little girl in a grown-up world
You're running toward anything but sanctity
Because that's all these liars are
Don't dare back down, they stare you down
And you stare right back until they give up on you
Because they scorn you for why she's here
And they scorn her for who you are
But she's beautiful, and you love her so
But you're a little girl in a grown-up world
With a little girl held in your arms
And you have to learn that you were wrong
[Here's something I decided to work on for a bridge. I can't tell if it stinks at this point.]
She doesn't care about hypocrisy
It's you and me, you and me, she screams
She doesn't care about the bitter enemies
Are you listening? It's you and me, she screams
She'll never laugh, never cry, never live, never die
If you can't be nothing and everything at the same time
You hate the world because it says she's your fault
So prove them wrong
