Just A Girl

original song by Dylan Patrello

In the light where the lillies grow
I used to live alongside of their stems
Up and up while the sun beat down
All around the fairest fiield of flowers
'Till you stepped on my petals, scissors in hand
And pulled my roots from the gardeners land
Out of my leaves i grew elbows and feet
You wanted to go and i started to weep

You picked me much too early
I liked my simple dirt
I needed rain and thunder
You cut me where it hurt

In the dark where you call your home
Oh you probably live sad life on your own
With every gun that you try to hide
Kept inside your closet full of secrets
But not a secret for long 'cause i opened your vault
To help myself see it wasn't my fault
I always thought you couldn't be blamed
I never knew how when i felt so ashamed

You took me in your room
I stood behind your door
You told me to be calm and
Get down on the floor
You used my paintbrush
Colors on my hands
But i was just a girl and
You were a man

Hand over all my fingers
You forgot they were never yours
Breathe back my breaths you borrowed
They're much too young and pure.

Haunting Lyrics, beautiful melody.

I find it amusing that a number of related videos to this include the likes of "Hot girl wielding AR-15, Cute girls shotgun prank and training little girl sniper. What relation could such videos even have remotely in common lol Aside from that, another great work Dylan.

Really loved your piano here ... and, of course your voice has always delighted me! This is a wonderful - VERY wonderful song! Dark lyrics, yet you deliver them with such sweetness. You are a brilliant composer, Miss Patrello! <3
