Girl, by Tori Amos

*sigh*

Ugh... I really don't want to say too much about certain parts of my past...

...so I'll just leave this one by saying I know what it's like to be "everyone else's girl but my own"...

...but I'm slowly becoming mine.



From in the shadow she calls

And in the shadow she finds a way finds a way

And in the shadow she CRAWLS

Clutching her faded photograph my image UNDER her thumb

Yes with a message for my heart

Yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway they stay

And laugh as violins fill with water

Screams from the BLUEBELLS can't make them go away

We'll I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my knees

Falling down as the winter takes one more CHERRY TREE

She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

rushin' rivers thread so thin limitation

Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in their

coats anda in their do's yeah

Everyone else's girl maybe one day maybe one day one day one day she'll be

her own

smother in our hearts a pillow to my dots

And in the mist there she rides

And castles are burning in my heart

And as I twist I hold tight

And I ride to work every morning wondering why

"Sit in the chair and be good now"

and become all that they told you

the white coats enter her room

and I'm callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' my baby callin'

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
