A Waste is a Terrible Thing To Mind

Every night I say my prayers
Like throwing confetti in the air
I don't need perfect, but I'll take fair
I've learned to drive while I cry
Figured out the answer's always why
I've been brave and I've been scared

I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Do what I can to survive
Back and forth from a woman to a child
I'm coming up for air
We're not all that far apart
Both fragile works of art
See the colors that we share

But, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Oh I've always believed in him and me
I get you, I wish that you'd get me

Yeah well, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you did

Oh, I'm just a girl like you
I'm just a girl like you
He may break my heart too
But that's a chance I gotta take
Just like you
