lyrics

Sitting up on the roof at our parents' house
counting the days until we can get out
One more Monday is coming on fast
for the small town survivors at the head of the class

They asked were we fine
We said yes every time
Hoping that someone would see through lie

We were the other girls raised on pretending
that there was a part for us in that storybook ending
But now that we're grown we see we're not alone
What do we find?
The other girls were here all the time

Pushing on through, keeping our heads down
Dodging sticks and stones with our hearts on the ground
Running out of places to keep all that shame
Until just one someone calls us by our name

I see who you are
and I know your scars
because they're the same ones I've got on my heart

We were the other girls raised on pretending
that there was a part for us in that storybook ending
But now that we're grown we see we're not alone
What do we find?
The other girls were here all the time
The other girls were here all the time
The other girls are here all the time

Sitting up on the roof at your parents' house
You're counting the days until you can come out
