Verse 1 There was once a little girl Who dreamed of faraway places. She would play pretend, A princess with a dragon, But no knight could save her From the damage that was coming. She would run and hide From the wicked man beside her. All she wanted was protection, All she got was a sword— She was the enemy, he was the good guy, At least that was the score. What was she supposed to do? Chorus A little girl in her castle, The only guard that she knew was against her. She would run up her tower, He would come. She would lock the door, He would break it down and set her on fire. What was I supposed to do? Verse 2 There was once a little girl Who loved her flowers. She’d pretend she was a fairy, And they’d sprout all around her. But the second the wicked man came, They all shuttered and died. She would run, she would cry even though she shouldn't She was trapped with his mind spreading lies all around her. What was she supposed to do? Chorus A little girl in her castle, The only guard that she knew was against her. She would run up her tower, He would come. She would lock the door, He would break it down and set her on fire. What was I supposed to do? Bridge / Outro Now that girl ain't so little, And she's bruised. Now she won't believe you love her, She's been used. A little girl in her tower, The only guard she knew was against her. All her trees and her flowers seem to pass with every blue. A little girl in her tower, she's was cold yet on fire A little girl in her tower... I was in my tower.
