Good Girl (release)
Lyrics
remember the time / just one moment or two / I want to rewind / back to when skies were blue

but now it’s so far gone / never coming back / my nights are all too long / and the skies have turned black

did I say too much / did I not say enough / how can I know / when to start, when to stop

Chorus

how long will I stay locked in here / afraid to let anyone else / how long will I feel uncomfortable / in my own skin / ‘cause I was the good girl / I did everything anyone expected of me / then how come I still feel / incomplete

crawl under the bed / be still and quiet as I can / lone refugee / hiding in my own safe haven

I close my eyes / so the world can’t see me / a tear rolls down / I’m dying slow and quietly

yes you said too much / while I never said enough / I never started / but you, you never stopped

Chorus

running down the corridor / I’m standing naked in front of the / entire world / I’m wondering why I’m so ashamed / and why can’t you just take the blame / for once in your life

how long will I stay locked in here / I’m afraid to let anyone else / how long will I feel uncomfortable / in my own skin / I’m just the good girl / I’ll do anything you ever expect of me / then how come I still feel / incomplete
