I Didn't Use To Be a Good Girl

I wore my pain like leather skin
Smiled wide but broke within
I danced through nights I don't recall
Trying to matter, trying to feel at all

And they thought I was just wild
But I was just a shattered child

I didn't use to be a good girl
I played with fire just to stay warm
I let the world decide my worth
And wore the chaos like a form
But underneath the noise and scars
There was a light behind the dark
I didn't used to be a good girl
But grace found my heart

I spoke in silence, walked in shame
Thought love was just another game
But something broke, and light came in
And I began to breathe again

Now I see her in the mirror
The one I fought for through the tears

I didn't use to be a good girl
I played with fire just to stay warm
I let the world decide my worth
