When I Was Just a Young Girl

When I was just a young girl I
Tried to do the best that I could
Everything was wonderful
I saw only beauty for miles
Suddenly I lost something
Everything I loved got away
I could feel the storm building
And I would spend the rest of my life
Alone in the fight

When I was just a young girl I
Tied to hide away from the cold
I could sense it traveling
I was nothing more than a child
Suddenly the storm hit and
Every single breath was a fight
I was in the midst of it
Where I would spend the rest of my days
Just trying to stay
It's breathtaking
What you've taken away
It's making me strong than you
Purer than you
For so many days

I sit and wonder how I made it through
I'm sorry for you
In so many ways

Let me recount one last time

And I would spend the rest of my life
Just trying to stay
It's breathtaking
What you've taken away
It's breathtaking

When I was just a young girl
When I was just a young girl
It's breathtaking
