Lonely Girl

(feat. Linda Perry)

I can remember the very first time I cried
How I wiped my eyes and buried the pain inside
All of my memories - good and bad - that's past
Didn't even take the time to realize

Starin' at the cracks in the walls
Cuz I'm waiting for it all to come to an end
Still I curl up right under the bed
Cuz its takin' over my head all over again

Do you even know who you are
I guess I'm tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar
I want to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have

Lyin' awake watchin' the sunlight
How the birds will sing as I count the rings
around my eyes
Constantly pushing the world I know aside
I don't even feel the pain, I don't even want to
try

I'm lookin' for a way to become
The person that I dreamt of when I was sixteen
Oh, nothin' is ever enough
Ooh, baby, it ain't enough for what it may seem

Do you even know who you are
I'm still tryin' to find
A borrowed dream or a superstar
Everybody wants to be
Is life good to you or is it bad
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have
No

Sorry girl, tell a tale for me
Cuz I'm wondering how you really feel
I'm a lonely girl, I'll tell a tale for you
Cuz I'm just tryin' to make all my dreams come
true

Do you even know who you are
Oh, yeah, yeah
A borrowed dream or a superstar
Oh, I wanted to be a star
Is life good to you or is it bad
I can't tell, I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have
I guess not, oh I guess not

Do you even know who you are
Oh, I'm tryin' to find
A rising dream or a superstar
Oh, I have a all these dreams
Is life good to you or is it bad
I can't tell anymore
Do you even know what you have
No, no
Do you even know what you are
A rising dream or a fallen star
Is life good to you or is it bad
