"She's Come A Long Way" lyrics

There's a girl in a picture dressed in black
Looks kinda familiar, I recognize that
Pain in her eyes, a little scared and unsure
But it ain't there anymore

Cause there's a girl in the mirror
With the same sweet face
A few more lines, from a few mistakes
Miles behind her, and miles to go
She's got something to show for it

She's been down in the dust
Hit her knees but she got back up
Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay
She's been quiet too long
But you can't steal a songbird's song
She was drowning in noise
Now she's got something to say
She's come a long way
She's come a long long way

She was dying for love looking everywhere
Trying to fit circles into squares
Settled for less than she ever deserved
Hard to believe I used to be her
She had a lot to learn

She's been down in the dust
Hit her knees but she got back up
Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay
She's been quiet too long
But you can't steal a songbird's song
She was drowning in noise
Now she's got something to say
She's come a long way
She's come a long long way

She's come a long way
But she ain't done yet
She's come a long way
Got a lot of road left
She's come a long way
But she ain't done yet
She's come a long way

She's been down in the dust
Hit her knees but she got back up
Got her feet on the ground but her head's in the clouds to stay
She's been quiet too long
But you can't steal a songbird's song
She was drowning in noise
Now she's got something to say
She's come a long way
She's come a long long way

She's come a long way
But she ain't done yet
She's come a long way
Got a lot of road left
She's come a long way
But she ain't done yet
I've come a long way
