Baby Girl, Small

O

Baby doll, girl small

What happened to that mind so tall

Where you dreamed of dreams, that breaked all walls

Now your just walking, pushing this cart from the mall

O

Baby doll, girl small

What happened to those eyes and everything they saw

Where they looked ahead of obstacles, making sure you wouldn't fall

Now these eyes are seeing, all these seeping flaws

O

Baby doll, girl small

Your not a baby anymore, your just a girl who sleeps in a public restroom stall
