⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ [Verse 1] She wakes with teeth in her throat Hands shaking under the sheet A second skin made of smoke And a name she can’t repeat She counts the cracks in the wall Like they might split first She wants to win, wants to crawl But the war gets worse [Pre-Chorus] Something in her says run Something in her says stay One voice puts on a crown One voice burns it away She bites down hard on the word Feels it shatter in her chest She keeps on standing in the dark But the dark knows best [Chorus] There once was a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead When she was good, she was very, very good But when she was bad she was horrid There once was a little girl Who had a little bullet Right in the middle of her forehead When she saw blood, she felt how she bled But when she was not, she was dead [Verse 2] She hears her own steps behind Even when she stands still A mirror learns how to lie And she believes it will Her mouth fills up with ash Every time she says “please” She keeps a knife in her ribs Just to cut at the keys [Pre-Chorus] Something in her says fight Something in her says pray One side wants mercy now One side takes it away She drags her shadow through glass Till the floor turns red She keeps on reaching for light But the light is dead [Chorus] There once was a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead When she was good, she was very, very good But when she was bad she was horrid There once was a little girl Who had a little bullet Right in the middle of her forehead When she saw blood, she felt how she bled But when she was not, she was dead [Bridge] [Breakdown] She lost the name She lost the room She lost the hand That pulled her through One voice kneels One voice snarls She breaks apart In little parts [Final Chorus] There once was a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead When she was good, she was very, very good But when she was bad she was horrid There once was a little girl Who had a little bullet Right in the middle of her forehead When she saw blood, she felt how she bled But when she was not, she was dead
