Nina del Río - Fourteen Lyrics

At fourteen, she was the biggest kid she ever would be
So it seems, a heart torn inside out before it could even see
Through the eyes of better days
See through the lies of a pretty face
Oh yes, so it seems

In the morning, she wakes up and takes herself by the hand
Plants her feet on a floor torn out from right beneath her reach
A floor torn out from right beneath her reach

She wakes up with rough hands
Brittled by the words that she's heard said
Pale skin, hiding
The bruises she's got sitting in her head
And she don't understand the way the world keeps spinning round
She don't understand, she don't understand
The world's no longer safe and sound

I don't know why
I can't stand the feel of hands on my bare skin
I'm waiting for a sign that I can feel a part of me again
And I wish that I could see his face once more
He took a part of me I didn't know before

Her mother cried when she heard that she woke up somewhere
With her skin and her care being used
A childhood has died prematurely
The grim reaper watches her put on her shoes

She wakes up in pieces
Cut apart by moments she can't find
A memory for every season
Somehow in her mind, still intertwined
And she don't understand the way the world keeps spinning round
She don't understand, she don't understand
The world's no longer safe and sound

I don't know why
I can't stand the feel of hands on my bare skin
I'm waiting for a sign that I can feel a part of me again
And I wish that I could see his face once more
He took a part of me I didn't know before
