The Flicker of a Little Girl Lyrics

Was that the flicker
Of a little girl?
Some moments are starry, meaningless
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 then pull apart
Seen you when you thought you'd be coming
Home from school
It′s so easy to be beautiful when you're young
And 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 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
You held inside
They were all going to follow me some day

And maybe I could prove myself wrong
Held onto something I thought I never could
Yes, never carelessly misled
I always knew just where I was

Was that the flicker
Of a little girl?
Some moments are starry, meaningless
