You kneel in the bath in your sisters blue dress
Mixing tears with your whiskey filled veins
You calm yourself down and settle you down
To be you at least till they're awake
You had your first kiss under green fuelled bliss
With the boy from across the street
You laughed for awhile all while hiding a smile
And the shame of your fast growing stiff
All you want is just a little love
All you need is just to be heard
Remember the time you were maybe
Slathered lipstick across your face
Your gut turned to stone when your dad crossed the room
Red faced with his belt in his grip
All you want is just a little love
And all you need is just to be her
So much hurt
And the darkest
The darkest of words
Unloved
For the longest time
The longest time
The longest time
Well you fought where you can
Stayed your ground raised your hands
Looked for love in all the letters
Of each locker room scam
You loved
Loved
Loved
All you want is just a little love
And all you need is just to be her
She was the sweetest of girls
She was always my daughter
Tears of guilt dripping down their face
The hypocrisy builds with each candlelit moment
For the girl who died for her name
