Was that the flicker of a little girl?
(Some moments our story is meaningless.)
When you just want to feel safe, you just want to be loved
And you know there´s no better place than this

Maybe I could prove myself wrong
Maybe things fall together than pull apart

´Seen you when you were fourteen coming home from school
(It´s so easy to be beautiful when you´re young.)
I still see that light that is shining through those tired eyes
Could those eyes see what was coming then?
And we all want what we can´t afford
And we all get what we deserve

Too many deaths and betrayals, too many lies
(Makes it hard to trust the moment you´re in.)
Too many teardrops that you hold inside
(They were always gonna pour over me someday.)

Maybe I could prove myself wrong
Held on to something I thought I never could
´Never carelessly mislaid
I always knew just where it was

Was that the flicker of a little girl?
(Some moments our story is meaningless.)
