The Other Girls by Juliana Finch – Lyrics
Sitting up on the roof at our parents’ house
counting the days until we could get out
One more Monday coming on fast
For the small town survivors at the head of the class.
They asked were we fine
We said yes every time
Hoping that someone would see through the lie
Chorus:
We were the other girls
raised on pretending
that there was a part for us
in that storybook ending
Now that we’re grown
we see we’re not alone
and what did we find?
The other girls were here all the time
Pushing on through, keeping our heads down
Dodging sticks and stones with our hearts on the ground
Running out of places to keep all that shame
Until just one someone calls us by our name
And says I see who you are
and I know your scars
because they’re the same ones I’ve got on my heart
Chorus
Sitting up on the roof of your parents’ house
Counting the days until you can get out
