She's daddy's little girl but the answer's always no
Big brother's best friend but he's telling her to let it go
Wondering why nothing seems to go her way
Mama I need to talk but her eyes are somewhere far away
I'm not just a pretty box, don't just fill me up with shiny things
You tie your bows around me but you can't keep me closed with pieces of string
Left home at 17 when she couldn't take it anymore
You're always drunk she screamed, right before she walked out that door
Never had a hard time holding her head up high
Best thing I ever did was telling them goodbye
I'm not just a pretty box, don't just fill me up with shiny things
You tie your bows around me, but you can't keep me closed with pieces of string
I'm not angry, I just want you to see me for who I am
I'm not sorry, I just want you to try and understand
I'm not just a pretty box, don't just fill me up with shiny things,
You tie your bows around me, but you can't keep me closed with pieces of string
