Wrong Little Girl

Chorus

Can’t let go of the girl in your eyes

You keep holding her pain, but you never hear why

Now a woman stands tall, trying to break free

But you only see that angry child she used to be

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, can’t you see me now

Oh oh letting go, I’m not that child now

Verse 2

My little son grew up in my arms

I learned to listen, tried to heal my own scars

But your heavy words, they cut right through

Can’t you see the woman I became in front of you

Pre-Chorus

Years gone sliding by

I called out, but you turned away

I’m begging for some kind of sign

To show you I ain’t lost, just changed

Chorus

Can’t let go of the girl in your eyes

You keep holding her pain, but you never hear why

Now a woman stands tall, trying to break free

But you only see that angry child she used to be

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, can’t you see me now

Oh oh letting go, I’m not that child now

Bridge

I carry the weight you left behind

But I won’t let it steal what’s mine

Built my own hope, even in your shade

Still craving peace between the lines we made

Outro

Maybe one day, you’ll see me true

Not the shadows you hold onto

If you reach for me, I’ll be around

Just a woman, standing her ground

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, can’t you see me now

Oh oh letting go, I’m not that child now

Oh oh letting go, let me live somehow

Coda

Tell me, where do we go from here

When your walls are built on fear

I found a life far from your pride

Still hoping you’d walk alongside

I learned to stand through the bitter storms

Not just the daughter you’ve mourned

If you ever soften your blame

Come find the woman who carries your name

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, hear me calling out

Oh oh letting go, time to lay it down

Oh oh letting go, let me live somehow

Post-Coda

One last time, I breathe it in

The sorrow, the ache, where we begin

But I can’t live inside your past anymore

I’m opening doors you closed before

Verse 3

Let the silence finally speak

I won’t break for you, won’t stay weak

Every tear I swallowed made me whole

I give you forgiveness I own in my soul

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, watch me heal at last

Oh oh letting go, leave you in the past

Oh oh letting go, letting love move fast

Verse 4

Now I see my son with pride in his eyes

Breaking the chain, he never wears a disguise

His laughter’s strong, his worry’s light

I gave him truth, I taught him right

Pre-Chorus

He’s growing high, fearless and kind

I broke the cycle you left behind

He holds me close, calls me his home

I found my courage standing alone

Chorus

Can’t let go of the girl in your eyes

But I’ve learned to rise, no more goodbyes

My love’s alive in the life I lead

Grew my own roots far from your greed

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, I see him shine now

Oh oh letting go, I lift my own vow

Oh oh letting go, we’re free somehow

Outro 2

Hands open, I set you free

No more chains, a new legacy

I watch my son turning toward the sun

Knowing my chapter’s just begun

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, loving what I became

Oh oh letting go, burning out your shame

Oh oh letting go, nothing left to claim

Closing

Leaving behind what weighed me down

I’m lighter now, feet on solid ground

If you look my way, I’ll greet you whole

But I finally recovered what you stole

Post-Chorus

Oh oh letting go, this is my vow

Oh oh letting go, look at me now

Oh oh letting go, healing here and now
