LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

Verse 1
You didn’t know better than the world / You were just a little girl
Trying to navigate a noisy world
That keeps its kindness withheld

Pre chorus
Hear me out
Listen to me now
You didn't need it all figured out
It was never your fault


Chorus
You felt so little, unheard / Told to stay quiet and reserved / A little unheard, a little unheard / Always told that you should do better

Hook
You were never too much


Verse 2
You forgot how to pause to care for yourself
Putting others above everything else
Always trying to people please
Those who can’t be appeased


Pre chorus
Hear me out
Listen to me now
You didn't need it all figured out
It was never your fault


Chorus
You felt so little, unheard / Told to stay quiet and reserved / A little unheard, a little unheard / Always told that you should do better

Hook
You were never too much


Bridge
The adults around you wanted better
But they never showed you better
They shouldn't ask what they can't give
So pause and take a breath
You'll break this pattern

Pre chorus
Hear me out
Listen to me now
You didn't have it all figured out
It was never your fault


Chorus
You felt so little, unheard / Told to stay quiet and reserved / A little unheard, a little unheard / Always told that you should do better


Final chorus
You were so little, unheard / Told to stay quiet and reserved / A little unheard, a little unheard / told you should do better
Do better than they were willing to

Outro
Oooh unheard
Mmmm… can you hear yourself now?
You were never too much

You didn’t know better than the world…
And you were just a little girl
