#CIL #GirlIUsedToBe

[jazz]

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sick of counting on my ribs
Hollowed cheeks, I'm paper thin
Making sure I'm never full
So, I can stay this beautiful
Traded all my happiness
For nothing but emptiness

[Verse 2]
I'm buried checking off the days
Young and yet my body aches
I don't know how much I can take
I can't go on living this way
It's time for her to fly away

[Chorus]
Sing something soft and slow
A song that she used to know
Lay her down in a bed of roses
And make sure that lace dress fits
Make sure her momma knows
She's taking her pain when she goes
It's only goodbye for a moment
So, go on and close that lid
Say "Goodnight", and just let her sleep
No need to cry for the girl I used to be

[Verse 3]
Make the coffin big enough
To fit the boy she used to love
Who never loved her half as much
And tell her that her work is done
Put the daisies on her chest
And lay there good, rest

[Chorus]
Oh, sing something soft and slow
A song that she used to know
Lay her down in a bed of roses
And make sure that lace dress fits
Make sure her momma knows
She's taking her pain when she goes
It's only goodbye for a moment
So, go on and close that lid
Say "Goodnight", and just let her sleep
No need to cry for the girl I used to be

you make art, the vulnerability in your voice and lyrics?? god i love artists that write like this

[Pringles.]

She's really mastered the 60's feel on this song. It has I would rather be blind vibes. She could definitely be big.

[leslie-ann]

Just found your channel. Your music is art. This song really speaks to my soul.
Reminds me of how I should stop crying over the 15 year old me who was drowning in daddy issues, suicide, and love for a narcissistic man. I've finally buried that vulnerable little girl, letting the 18 year old version of me heal for real this time

[lovechestra]

I have not heard a song by you that I haven't fallen in love with. I remember first hearing one more shot, listening to it on repeat and now I see how much it's blown up. Can't wait to see how far you go Cil! :)
