Sand slipping fast through hands Hands that are heavy and have held onto me since I breathed
And time, time has told it's joke Well nobody's laughing, and moments are passing with greed
I'm just a girl alone in a world I try to break through And pictures and numbers is all I'm amounting to I'm just a girl I don't know the world Not like you do And pictures and numbers was never enough for you
Oh, I needed you
Love has a different face The shadows are longer, the words come out stronger with age
But you, you weren't bought and sold Don't let them take me, corrupt and portray me this way
Cause I'm just a girl alone in the world I try to break through And pictures and numbers is all I'm amounting to I'm just a girl I don't know the world Not like you do And pictures and numbers was never enough for you
