Slip Away

Dancing on the kitchen counter top
Singing 'til they beg for her to stop
She's brave and loud
Not afraid of how she sounds
Seems funny that I let her slip away

Pigtails as high as they could be
Sparkled shoes with a mud-stained jersey
Who cares what I wear
Cause I am always pretty
Pretty funny how I let her slip away

She's a shy one
Used to be so good at making friends
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words are known to hurt me
Kinda funny the scars the never fade

She's a wild one
Change how she presents to just belong
Maybe somewhere in between her newfound insecurities
She lost herself to please anyone

You deserve to take up space
You deserve it no matter what they say
I know you hid behind these walls to keep her safe
Maybe she'll come back someday
Maybe she'll come through some way

Dancing on the kitchen counter top
Singing 'til they beg for her to stop
I'm brave and loud
Not afraid of how I sound
Seems funny that I let her slip away
