"There's A Part I Can't Get Back" lyrics

"There's A Part I Can't Get Back"

Little girl with big girl dreams
Pay the price without the means
Play the game without knowing the rules
I work till I can't feel the pain
I still hear the way you said my name
Though I don't want to
It's so nice to be understood
Just like a big girl should
It's so nice to be held at night
When you know it isn't right
A secret for us two

There's a part I can't get back
You stole it from me
There's a bag I can't unpack
It's always with me
If I die before I wake I pray the lord lets me get even first
I do, I do

It's been 10 years since we met
There's still so many things I'll never get
Though I want to
I'd ask you what you saw in me
A child who just wanted to be free
Be free from you
It's so nice to be understood
Just like a big girl should
It's so nice to be held at night
When you know it isn't right
A secret for us two

There's a part I can't get back
You stole it from me
There's a bag I can't unpack
It's always with me
If I die before I wake I pray the lord lets me get even first
I do, I do

There's a part I can't get back
You stole it from me
There's a bag I can't unpack
It's always with me
If I die before I wake I pray the lord lets me get even first
I do, I do
