PINLIGHT - When I Was a Little Girl Lyrics

When I was a little girl
I had my foolish fears in this world
Of witches and ghosts with malicious intent
And monsters under my bed
But now that I'm older and wiser (So wise)
Those monsters I know were all in my head
And now there's just one thing that I fear instead
I'm scared that you won't be in love, some day
I'm scared that you'll stop loving me

You hold my heart in the palm of your hand
And you don't even know the power that you hold

My friends think I have all the answers
And they keep telling me, you're a keeper
Well what do they think I've been trying to do?
I am the one that won't be kept
On paper, we're doing so well (you two are great together)
And you come home and hold me every day
But no one can see the hollow in me
Where I keep this fear that you're on your way out
I just know that you'll stop loving me

You hold my heart in the palm of your hand
Please still keep it close to you
Please don't throw me away

So now that I'm older and wiser
I should hold my head high 'cause big girls don't cry
But I'm not as brave as I used to be
And still I'm scared you'll stop loving me
