The Flicker of a Little Girl Lyrics
The Flicker of a Little Girl - Tindersticks
Was that the flicker of a little girl
Some moments our story is meaningless
When you just want to feel safe
You just want to be loved
And you know there's no better place than this
Maybe I could prove myself wrong
Maybe things fall together than pull apart
Seen you when you were fourteen
Coming home from school
It's so easy to be beautiful when you're young
I still see that light
That is shining through those tired eyes
Could those eyes see what was coming then
And we all want what we can't afford
And we all get what we deserve
Too many deaths and betrayals too many lies
Makes it hard to trust the moment you're in
Too many teardrops that you hold inside
They were always gonna pour over me someday
Maybe I could prove myself wrong
Held on to something
I thought I never could
Never carelessly mislaid
I always knew just where it was
Was that the flicker of a little girl
Some moments our story is meaningless
