Katie - Missy Higgins (lyrics)

Katie was a little girl
Who said I'll find a way
Katie was a little girl
Who said it'll be okay

'Til one day she found
A little bit of something
She used to drown

She said I'm alive and I am free
Can't you see I have control over me

When will you draw the line
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know
And she said go

Katie was a little girl
Who never found a way
Katie was a little girl
Who never was okay

'Cause one day she found
A little bit of something
She used to drown

She said I'm alive and I am free
Can't you see I have control over me

When will you draw the line
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know
She said go

She said I'm alive and I am free
Can't you see I have control over me

But will you draw the line
Yeah
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know

And she said go
And she said go
And she said go

Is this song about suicide? And did Katie commit suicide because of abuse?

[littleshadows23]

This song could be about suicide but it could also be about an eating disorder. I'm not sure what Missy Higgins wrote it about. As for Katie commiting suicide if she's a real person then it's very possible.

do i imagine the laughing at 2:33?

this song is so sad :( but i love it

[littleshadows23]

This is a live recording. I just cut off the applause at the end.

my friend should this song yesterday and it made me cry my friend catilyn that we called katie died of anorexia when she was only 18.. rip my friend i survived for us both

[3dncer4life770]

my dance studio has a dance to this song, its about four girls and they are all katie. one girls is anorexic, one beaten, one on drugs, and one who hated life and was teased and cut herself. at the end they all take off their little chains, and bracelets that resemble what theyve gone through and it shows that they are free finally. i think katie is anyone who has an issue and she resembles them all. this dance makes me cry b/c its touching. it wins at competition every time.

[Lillisaurus]

I immediately thought of my friend when I heard of this. The "little girl" part struck me especially. She is an addict and i'm afraid she's destroying herself

@littleshadows23 It's about a friend of her's who OD'd, actually. I cannot believe no one got that! "A little bit of something" - hello - a little bit of heroin.
