Perfect Little Girl

(album: The Light At The End Of The Line - 2022)

Pretend that you're a girl
For the rest of your life
Pretend it for the world
Though you know it isn't right
If life's a fairy tale
You can play your role and be
Be a perfect little girl
For all the world to see

But there's a sacred place inside
And it's a place you just can't hide
If this whole wide world would only see
They'd know you tried to be
A perfect little girl

Pretend it's all a dream
And one day you'll wake inside
To be somewhere in-between
Where you left, and you arrived
And you'll know that dreams come true
'Cause it's happening to you
Like a redbird finds the spring
You will find your season, too

'Cause there's a sacred place inside
And it's a place you just can't hide
If this whole wide world could see
They'd know you tried to be
A perfect little girl

Blame it on the sun
Blame it on the moon
Blame it on the stars that shine
The same on me as you

'Cause there's a sacred place inside
And it's a place I just can't hide
If the world could see inside of me
They'd know I tried to be a perfect little girl
Perfect little girl
Perfect little girl
